CSW-H85K2 – Serial WLAN Device Server
CSW-H85K2 converts legacy serial devices (RS232/RS422/RS485) into TCP/IP data over Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11 b/g), enabling remote monitoring and control when wired networking is difficult. It includes Wireless RSSI for easier deployment, Soft AP for setup without an access point, and WPA-Enterprise for high-security environments.
Key features
- • Serial-to-Wi-Fi TCP/IP conversion for RS232/RS422/RS485 devices (wireless monitoring and control).
- • Wireless RSSI mode helps during installation to validate signal quality and placement.
- • Soft AP allows configuration and connection from mobile devices without a Wi-Fi AP.
- • IPv4/IPv6 dual stack supports long-term networking and transitions to IPv6.
- • WPA-Enterprise security supports enterprise authentication requirements.
Soft AP + RSSI for fast commissioning
CSW-H85K2 is designed for environments where pulling cable is difficult. Soft AP provides a direct setup path from a phone/laptop, while Wireless RSSI helps confirm that the installed location has adequate Wi-Fi signal for stable operation.
- • Configure IP/SSID/security through the web interface for repeatable rollout.
- • Works in typical WLAN topologies (Infrastructure and Ad-hoc) and supports Soft AP for setup.
Communication modes, management & framing
Use standard serial-over-IP modes for remote connectivity, and rely on built-in monitoring tools for commissioning and support. Separator (packet framing) helps when serial traffic is message-based and needs clean packet boundaries.
- • Supports common tunneling modes (TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP) and AT Command mode for flexible setups.
- • Multiple monitoring options: debugging mode, ezManager, and TELNET status checks.
- • Virtual COM (ezVSP) for Windows helps legacy software communicate over Wi-Fi without code changes.
