Paragon Innovations
Offers Gateway for Serial-to-Ethernet Communications
ENET-GATE™ Provides Universal
Serial-to-Ethernet Gateway to Web-Enable Any Serial Device
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Sept. 28,
1999 – Paragon Innovations Inc., a leading provider of embedded
and Internet systems and design, announced today the availability
of ENET-GATE™, a serial-to-Ethernet gateway for universal
connectivity of any serial device to networks and the Internet.
This connectivity allows communication with – and control of –
serial devices from remote locations on a network or through the
Internet.
The ENET-GATE, available
immediately, uses the NET+ARM™ central processing unit from
NETsilicon Inc. The NET+ARM chip is a complete embedded solution
containing all hardware and software for enabling
Ethernet/Internet connections, which allows the ENET-GATE unit to
remain compact. The finished product is no larger than a credit
card and is only 1 inch thick.
"The ENET-GATE is a
low-cost, compact device that allows any product with a serial
port to communicate via TCP/IP over the Internet without having to
modify existing hardware or software," said Mike Wilkinson,
Paragon's chief executive officer. "It has been designed to be
easily customized to work in any environment, with any serial
device and in any application."
The ENET-GATE gateway
encapsulates serial data with the appropriate TCP/IP information
and sends it through a network to its directed destination. Once
there, the receiving device passes the information on to the
serial port. Optionally, this data can be buffered and transported
via a POP3 mail server to any destination.
The ENET-GATE features support
for many Internet and network protocols. These include:
10/100BaseT Fast Ethernet, TCP/IP, POP3 and SMTP mail systems and
FTP. It also supports both PSOS and VxWorks real-time operating
systems. The ENET-GATE supports many different serial interfaces
as well, including RS232, RS485 and TTL.
Pricing starts at $499.
