The WiSER2400.IP and the WiSER2400.Plus are IEEE 802.11b compliant
devices with built-in serial interfaces. They are designed to allow non-
wirelessly enabled serial devices to be connected and fully integrated into an
802.11 Network.
The WiSER2400 receives data from equipment with serial ports; converts the
serial data into 802.11 compliant TCP or UDP data packets and transmits
these packets wirelessly. Conversely, the WiSER can receive wireless
packets, which it unpacks and delivers byte-by-byte to the destination
equipment/device through a serial port.
The WiSER2400 requires no device driver and is operating system
independent. They can be used with almost any type of equipment that uses a
serial port, including (but not limited to) cash registers, electronic whiteboards
and navigational instruments. Administration of the WiSER2400 is done
through a Windows based administrative software program. The
administration software can be used to configure the unit’s operating
parameters, administrative and local network settings. It can also be used to
monitor the unit’s communication link conditions.

The WiSER2400.IP comes with an RS-232 interface and a built-in
2dBi antenna. It comes supplied with a 5V DC power adapter.
The WiSER2400.Plus provides the same functionalities as the
WiSER2400.IP. It has an RS-232 DB-9 connector as well as a mini-
Phoenix connector for RS-485/422 interfaces. It accepts 5V DC to
32V DC power supply that has to be provided for separately by the
user. Input power connection is made through the mini-Phoenix
connector. It also comes with a DIN rail mounting clip and plate
assembly.
Note: Throughout this manual, the term WiSER2400 is used to
refer to both the WiSER2400.IP and the WiSER2400.Plus
