Used as a Device Server, AI-7188E1 network enables any device with a serial communication port. By virtue of its independent operating system protocol independence, small size and flexibility. Device Servers are able to meet the demand of virtually any network-enable application.

AI-7188E1 can serve as an Addressable Ethernet to RS-232 Converter. Most RS-232 devices don't support device addressing. The I-7188E1 series can assign unique address to any RS-232 device installed in the Ethernet network. The host-PC can send a command with device address to the Ethernet network and the destination I-7188E1 will remove the address field and pass the other fields of the command to its local RS-232 device The response of this local RS-232 device will be passed to the host-PC via this destination I-7188E1.

AI-7188E1 can be used as Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller. The user can use readily available and well-developed libraries and demo programs to implement an Embedded Internet/Ethernet Controller.
