XTA's Wireless 'Walkabout' Kit enables AudioCore control over WiFi !

XTA have spent a considerable period of time searching for a reliable, straightforward solution to creating a wireless system that can interface with our units. The obvious choice of standard network is to utilise the ‘Ethernet’ system as utilised by computer and control systems worldwide.

We have developed a new version of our popular computer interface ‘AudioCore’ to work with local area networks (LANs) and wireless local area networks (WLANs) using the TCP/IP protocol. This system means there is no need for COM port redirection software to use external USB to serial converters. These can prove troublesome, especially with laptops.

We have found that the Netgear WG511T wi-fi card provides greatly extended range and improved stability, over and above any WLAN systems built into laptops or tablet PCs (such as those featuring ‘Centrino’ processors).

The solution for the connection to the serial port on our processors is catered for by the Wiser WLAN to Serial converter. This device is small, stable, and easy to set up. New software has been developed for the DP226 and DP224 so that it may reprogram the Wiser’s basic features and required settings for hassle free configuration. We also have a utility program that allows more comprehensive setup of the device via a PC, if the default settings are not suitable .

The kit contains the Wiser converter, the Netgear Wifi card and all necessary cables and software on CD.
