1: Introduction
1.1 Overview
The HelloDevice Lite Series allows you to network-enable a variety of serial devices that were not
originally designed to be networked. This capability brings the advantages of remote management and
data accessibility to thousands of serial devices over the network.
The LS100W is a cost effective one port serial-Ethernet communication device. The LS100W
supports RS232 serial communication allowing virtually any asynchronous serial device to be
accessed over a network.
As for the Internet connectivity, the LS100W supports open network protocols such as TCP/IP
allowing serial devices to be accessed over broadband network or conventional LAN (Local Area
Network) environment.
The LS100W provides a management console, by using Telnet and the serial console port, which is
under password protection. The LS100W also provides a management function with the use of the
HelloDevice Manager Software Utility.
The LS100W was designed to accommodate unique requirements of the Retail POS, Security,
Automation and Medical marketplaces.
Parts of this manual assume the knowledge of concepts of Internetworking protocols and serial
