The LAVA DataTap-IP is a general-purpose serial data line splitter with the added power of full data filtering. The device taps into any serial data stream to split and send serial data two ways: over IP, and additionally to a remote server, client, or COM port. Featuring dual RS-232 serial ports, easy web browser configuration, and transparent pass-through operations, bi-directional communications from remote users can be established to any serial device directly connected to the Datatap-IP's Input or Output ports. With a LAVA DataTap-IP you can 'sniff' monitor, detect communication bottlenecks, or conduct remote testing. The device supports diagnostics of serial devices such as PLCs, ECRs (Electronic Cash Registers), and other RS-232 equipment by providing a bi-directional 'pass-through' data route between any two serial devices. The LAVA DataTap-IP has applications in Security, Point of Sale and Engineering.
