Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W is a utility-grade serial device server that combines an IEEE
802.11b/g Local Area Network (LAN) with wired serial and Ethernet ports. It allows
network designers to connect any RS232/422/485 serial device at up to 230 kbps
and/or connect Ethernet devices for wireless access and control via an IEEE 802.11i
WLAN. The RUGGEDCOM RS910W eliminates costly wiring and simplifies network in-
stallation.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W functions as a wireless client/bridge within an IEEE
802.11b/g compliant WLAN. This allows the RUGGEDCOM RS910W to transfer data
for connected serial port and Ethernet devices via an installed Wireless Access Point.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W is capable of wireless data rates of up to 54 Mbps whose
bandwidth is available for the combined device traffic volume emanating from two
serial ports and two Ethernet ports.
Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For authentication by an ac-
cess point and a RADIUS server, the RUGGEDCOM RS910W supports IEEE 802.1X/
RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys. All wire-
less communications are protected by modern network security features, including
strong encryption protocols using WPA with TKIP and even WPA2/802.11i with 128-
bit AES encryption. Static authentication support is provided by WPA-PSK. For ad-
ditional centralized control, the RUGGEDCOM RS910W also supports IEEE 802.1X/
RADIUS for wireless user traffic and distributing dynamic encryption keys.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic in-
terference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found on plant floors
and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C
(-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I Division 2), op-
tional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the RUGGEDCOM
RS910W to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of
cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or
85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability.
The RUGGEDCOM RS910W 's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGED-
COM Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides superior system reliability and ad-
vanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks
for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
