Introduction

The EM100 is Tibbo's original 10BaseT serial-to-Ethernet module for onboard installation. The EM100 is highly integrated and requires only one external component- RJ45 Ethernet connector. The EM100 has the lowest power consumption of all Ethernet modules offered by Tibbo. Economical pricing makes the module an ideal choice for low-cost applications.

Hardware Features

• Compact, dimensions only 46x28x13mm.
• Low power consumption: 40mA@5VDC.
• Fully sealed design.
• One 10BaseT Ethernet port with built-in Ethernet magnetics.
• One serial (TTL) port (TX, RX, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR).
• x2 additional I/O lines.
• Four LED lines provide module status information.
• Internal firmware is upgradeable through the serial port or network.
• EM100-SK Starter Kit available.
• CE- and FCC-approved.

Firmware Features

• All I/O lines can be used as remotely controlled I/O.
• Full- or half-duplex operation for serial (TTL) port*.
• 510-byte routing buffers (x2, one in each direction).
• Onboard EEPROM stores numerous user-definable functioning parameters (Settings).
• Setup through the serial port or network.
• Over-the-network IP address configuration is also supported.
• Specialized "on-the-fly" commands for serial port control.
• "Modem" commands to control network connections; status commands for remote monitoring, etc.
• Direct control of ADSL modems.
• Supported network protocols include UDP, TCP, ARP, ICMP (PING), DHCP, PPPoE, and LCP.
• Supplied with the Device Server Toolkit (DST) for Windows. The DST includes Virtual Serial Port Driver (VSPD) , a.k.a. "COM redirector". LINUX version of the VSPD is also available.
• Works with the AggreGate system.
