The TAC Xenta 911 communication device can be configured in three different ways:
• As a LonTalk® adapter between TAC Vista and a LonWorks® network
• As an IP modem, working as a direct replacement for a telephone modem,with dial-up functionality over the computer network
• As a remote serial port, meaning the serial port of Xenta 911 can be used as if it was a serial port on the PC. To be used for the serial protocols of Vista.
In the latter case, TAC Xenta 911 is intended for use with most TAC units supporting dial-up. See the data sheet for TAC Xenta 911. The IP address of the “dialed-up“ unit will then replace the telephone number. This makes it very easy to save money by eliminating telephone line costs. The fast dial-up time, typically less than two seconds, provides the feeling of a directly connected network.
The TAC Xenta 911 is quick to install and is easily maintained, using a web browser on the TCP/IP network. Its default values are set for TAC Xenta connection,and it is pre-configured for most TAC products.
The TAC Xenta 911 contains HTML pages providing comprehensive on-line help.
