LNX-001 is an adapter that connects FTDI's USB controller to a LAN. By connecting the USB of a PC to an external LAN, it is possible to connect to various external interface servers even if the LAN is not connected due to security concerns.
From Rev2 onwards, the specifications do not use electrolytic capacitors.

*The second and subsequent images are CG.

overview

　A PC equipped with USB can be connected to a device server (LNX-002, LNX-003, etc.) connected via LAN. The LNX-001 is also a device server. It is
also possible to communicate 1:1 with the LNX-001 connected to another PC using tunneling mode.
The connected PC does not need to be connected to the LAN, and even if it is not connected to the LAN due to security issues, various interfaces can be controlled via the LAN.
　The LNX-001 uses an FTDI USB controller and can be controlled using the proven FTDI device driver. It is also possible to directly connect to the LNX-001 from another PC on the network using TCP/IP and operate it. *Mounting fixtures are sold separately.

Features

• Connect from USB to LAN as a device server
• Connect to external network devices without using a LAN
• Equipped with FTDI USB controller, virtual COM port and direct control are possible
• Two LNX-001 units can be used for 1:1 connection in tunneling mode (transparent mode).
• Automatically detects 10Base-T/100Base-TX
• Printing to a LAN-compatible printer is possible via LNX-001
• Easy device setup with setting memory card (microSD)
  • When replacing equipment, you can easily migrate by replacing the setting memory card.
  • Setting data can be sent to remote locations via email attachments, etc.
  • There are no restrictions on the IP address that can be set (can be set outside the segment)
  • Easily back up and record settings by saving the settings file
• Device settings can also be configured via network (LAN) using the original setting tool.
• Powered by USB, no external power supply required
• Virtual COM port support
• Industrial Design
• Small lot OEM possible
  from 50 units, we will provide you with your original nameplate.
• Free of 10 substances restricted by the RoHS Directive

LNX series setting tool

　This is an application for creating setting data for the LNX series.

　The created setting data is automatically configured by inserting it into the setting memory card (microSD) and turning on the power.
At this time, a backup file of the setting data is created on the setting memory card (microSD).
The setting data is saved even when the power is turned off, so there is no need to insert the microSD card next time.
When replacing the main unit of the LNX series, you can easily set it to the same settings by using the setting memory card (microSD).
If the PC and product are connected in the same segment, you can also configure it via the network (LAN).
