INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The WiSER2400.IP and the WiSER2400.Plus are IEEE 802.11b compliant devices with built-in serial interfaces. They are designed to allow non- wirelessly enabled serial devices to be connected and fully integrated into an 802.11 Network. The WiSER2400 receives data from equipment with serial ports; converts the serial data into 802.11 compliant TCP or UDP data packets and transmits these packets wirelessly. Conversely, the WiSER can receive wireless packe
