"Multi-drop Modem" to meet the needs of utilities and
businesses that require extensive polling of remote
terminal units (RTUs). By connecting existing serial RTU
devices to a line-of-business Ethernet LAN or WAN, the
EtherPoll optimizes communications without expensive RTU
change outs. The EtherPoll is an RS-232 SCADA
(supervisory control and data acquisition) modem/server
that acts as an interface between any asynchronous
serial device and Ethernet. Because the EtherPoll
functions independently of the device protocol, it
permits most 8 bit asynchronous polling protocols to
communicate over IP protocol networks without requiring
costly replacement of the RTU or polling host computer.
