SRM6230-Hybrid Ethernet-Serial Modem—
900MHz ISM Band

Data-Linc Group’s SRM6230 wireless Ethernet-serial modem is the latest generation in the SRM 900 MHz Ethernet modems. It is backward compatible with the SRM6200E, SRM6210E and SRM6220. The SRM6230 provides users an advanced, state-of-the-art blending of Data-Linc’s successful SRM family modems. The SRM6230 offers Ethernet to serial, EtherNet/IP to DF1 and modbus TCP/ IP to modbus RTU connectivity for hybrid in- tegration of serial and Ethernet devices. Only one modem is required for this integration which reduces cost and increases efficiency. The accompanying, SetLinc^TM software makes SRM6230 configuration easy and intuitive.

The SRM6230 has updated features and cutting- edge auxiliary microprocessor that add a broad range of enhanced, user-friendly features and capabilities. The SRM6230 can also be used in a serial only mode to interface with the SRM6000 or SRM6030.

Modem setup and configuration have been simplified by Data-Linc’s proprietary SetLinc software. Configuration via the Ethernet or the serial port (RS232) provides versatility. To further sim- plify installation and increase user confidence, the SRM6230 is “ping-able.” Radio network communication can be readily determined by pinging the Master or the Remote— an invaluable troubleshooting feature for determining if the communication link is functioning.

Additional advantages of the SRM6230 in- clude Ethernet bridging and 10/100 auto-MDIX Ethernet port. The radio network forms an Ethernet bridge between Master radio Ethernet devices and one or more Remote radio Ethernet devices.

Like the prior SRM Family 900 MHz modems, the 25+ miles (40 km)* range offers superior reliability and performance in the license-free band. The SRM6230 utilizes the same high performance, ultra-reliable Smart Spectrum^TM technology that ensures exceptional data integrity— even in high noise environments. It continues the SRM Family tradition of allowing each modem to be configured for Master, Remote, Repeater or Repeater/Remote mode. The SRM6230’s compact design with optional DIN rail clip, allows easy mounting. The front panel power and data connectors give the user immediate connectivity and front-located LED status lights provide direct visual access to critical diagnostic information.

** Greater range in optimal conditions with clear line-of-sight, Repeaters and/or higher gain antennas.
