Searching for a solution to connect also my Amp with RS232 via LAN for remote operation. Any hint ?

Hi Chris,

You didn't say what kind of amp you are using, but Microbit has a product available for the Acom 2000a:

I have Lantronix serial servers installed at a couple of sites, which work very well. There are however
many alternatives, such as from Moxa.

If your COM1 is not used on your RRC's, you can use that for control as well.

Amp is a Alpha87a. Want use DF3CB Alpha87 software - mainly for Power ON/OFF and check Output. No band switching is need for this Amp. Have found at Ebay a small board RS232-LAN made in China for 18.-EU includes shipping. Will give a try.

Lantronix UDS100 will be also a solution, but some more Euro needed.

I have been using 4 or 5 Wiznet WIZ110SR cards for several years.

Available from many Eu suppliers RS etc.
These work really well with EasyRotor cards and Eterlogic VSP software for controlling rotators etc. I have used the RRC1258 RS232 tunnel but I wanted to control too many things at once.
