Main Features


Set-Up  Procedure:

The Axel Office Server is managed from any network point by a telnet connection or a rsh command.
In addition, one of the serial ports can be switched into administrator mode letting a standard serial terminal (or PC) connect and configure the AXEL Office Server.

Peripheral Control:

The Axel Office Server offers flexible and cost-efficient connections for various serial peripherals (printers, terminals, badge readers, modems, etc.) in TCP/IP LAN environments:
  • Serial Terminals
    The embedded telnet client protocol supports serial terminals, with no additional software. 
    There is also local modem support    . 
    For specific use (predefined ptty for example), the Axel tty protocol can be used.
  • Printers
    The embedded LPD protocol allows printers to be connected with no additional software.
    For specific use (addressing the printer through a tty), the Axel tty protocol can be used.
  • Other devices: card readers, scales, etc.
    The Axel tty protocol allows to associate predefined ptty with Office Server serial ports. This feature can be used to control any peripheral through a fixed Unix/Linux tty (Simulates multi i/o board over Ethernet).

Other Functions:

- The set-up can be password-protected.
- Flash memory, firmware is downloadable over LAN/WAN.
- Remote administration (set-up and network information available over LAN/WAN).
