WRA-232
BI-DIRECTIONAL RS232 INTERFACE
WHAT IS IT?
A network interface for use with
Rako wired, wireless or
combined systems. The WRA-
232 Bridge acts as a bidirectional
interface with
external control devices via
either serial RS232 or Ethernet.
Audio-visual interface for bi-directional RS232 or
TCP/IP control of Wired and Wireless Rako systems.
OVERVIEW
The WRA-232 Bridge has two parallel bi-directional data connections,
RS232 and Ethernet. Messages received on either are repeated to both
Rako's wired and wireless network. Similarly, Rako network
transmissions (both wired and wireless) are re-transmitted on both the
RS232 and Ethernet ports.
CUSTOM STRINGS
The WRA-232 Bridge has the facility to output custom strings on receipt
of a 'trigger' message from a Rako network command. This allows Rako
transmission devices to act as controllers for external devices which
allow RS232 or IP control.
RS232 INTERFACING
The WRA-232 Bridge offers bi-directional RS232 interfacing supporting
an ASCII command set documented in Rako's 'RS232 Command
Summary' sheet. Standard communication rate of 9600Baud is
configurable via the embedded webpage to support 1200Bd,
2400Bd, 19.2kBd, 57.6kBd and 115.2kBd. Data input via 9 Way
'D' socket.
IP CONTROL
IP control is available using either TCP (Telnet), HTTP or UDP. More
information on the command format is available in the Rako document
'Accessing the Rako Bridge'.
