The XPress™ DR and XPress DR-IAP Device Servers enable virtually any industrial device with serial
capability to be connected to a new or existing Ethernet network. By encapsulating serial data and
transporting it over Ethernet, the XPress DR/DR-IAP establishes virtual serial links over Ethernet. By using
these units, limited-distance, point-to-point, direct serial connections can now be extended within the plant,
throughout the facility, or across the global enterprise.

When used in conjunction with an OPC server, most Windows
®
based HMI, SCADA, and PC-based control
applications have full access to information in the connected device. Existing COM-port based Windows
®
applications can access network-enabled devices using Lantronix Com Port Redirector software. Com Port
Redirector allows the creation of virtual serial ports, which can be mapped to remote device servers over
Ethernet and connected to the XPress DR and XPress DR-IAP.

The XPress DR-IAP installable communication drivers allow specific support for various industrial
communication protocols. With native support for these protocols, devices that previously allowed only one
connection can now support multiple connections simultaneously.
