Overview

The Moxa WE-2100T is a secure and compact embedded wireless module for connecting serial devices to access points in infrastructure mode, or to other WE-2100T's in ad-hoc mode. When using the WE-2100T, complex RF know-how is not needed to connect serial devices to a wireless Ethernet network. Encryption for secure data transfer is supported, along with the 802.11a/b/g radio specifications.

Operation Modes for Embedded Applications

The Moxa WE-2100T supports Real COM, TCP Server, TCP Client, UDP, and RFC 2217 operation modes, which are designed to fulfill the requirements of embedded module applications. Complete driver support for Real COM mode is included and easy to install.
