Description
The UP-017 serial to ethernet converter permits remote interaction and monitoring of the Lux Intelligent emergency lighting test panel. It is an economical and easy way to monitor panels from anywhere across the installation, using its local area network. It means there is no need to network panels across an installation, just simply tag each one on to the sites internal network. By simply connecting to a local network hub, it does away with the need to network groups of panels, and allows any number of computers on the network to download test data. In turn, this facilitates access to the full Lux Intelligent Cloud and the associated mobile and desktop apps. The device can be easily installed into any panel, running from the internal auxiliary power supply. The device is supplied with the serial interface lead for connecting to the panel, all that is required is a data connection to the closest local network hub. The device is easily configured using a standard Windows™ tool, simply allocating it an IP address and associated gateway information. The serial communications are then set up to match those of the panel and full access to the panel is available over the network. Controls can be configured so that only known IP addresses can access the device and password protection can be set. The device comes complete with the software tool for programming it and is compatible with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7/8/8.1. The UP-017 works with the Lux Intelligent logging and configuration tools.
