Take control of your serial devices with the VLINX VESR 9xx Industrial Ethernet Serial Servers. This rugged, DIN-rail-ready solution bridges legacy serial equipment to modern Ethernet networks, enabling seamless remote monitoring, management, and troubleshooting from anywhere on your LAN or WAN. Designed for industrial environments, the VLINX 2-Port model delivers dependable, real-time access to critical devices, helping you maximize uptime, optimize production lines, and reduce on-site service visits. Whether you’re running SCADA, MES, or factory automation, this compact two-port serial server empowers you to oversee and adjust your serial infrastructure from your office or remote locations with ease.

  • Seamless remote access and control: Monitor and manage serial devices across your Ethernet network—from your desk or a remote site. The VLINX solution provides a reliable web interface and remote management capabilities, enabling you to view port status, log events, and issue commands without physically visiting the equipment cabinet. This level of remote visibility reduces downtime and speeds troubleshooting, which is vital for high-availability industrial environments.
  • Two DB9 serial ports for versatile connectivity: The model combines two DB9 connectors into a compact package, allowing you to interface with multiple serial devices simultaneously. Whether your assets use RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 signaling, the dual-port design gives you the flexibility to integrate diverse equipment—from sensors to PLCs and intelligent controllers—without crowding your rack space.
  • Rugged DIN rail mounting for industrial environments: Engineered for factory floors and harsh settings, this unit mounts quickly to standard DIN rails, saving cabinet space and simplifying installation. Its sturdy housing is designed to withstand vibration, dust, and temperature variations typical of industrial installations, so you get reliable operation around the clock.
  • Copper Ethernet connectivity for dependable network access: With a robust RJ-45 copper Ethernet interface, the VLINX 2-Port sits comfortably in your existing IT and OT networks. It supports standard TCP/IP communication, enabling straightforward integration with network switches, routers, and firewalls, and ensuring stable connectivity for remote management across LANs and WANs.
  • Secure, scalable management for growing networks: Built to support ongoing industrial needs, this two-port server offers essential management features, including remote configuration, status monitoring, port-level control, and event logging. It helps administrators enforce security policies, deploy updates, and scale as more devices come online, all while maintaining high productivity and minimal downtime.

Technical Details of B&B VLINX, 2PORT, DB9, ESS, DIN, CU ETHERNET

  • Serial ports: 2 x DB9 connectors enabling dual serial channel connectivity for multiple devices.
  • Ethernet interface: Copper Ethernet (RJ-45) with standard 10/100 Mbps capability to integrate into existing IT/OT networks.
  • Mounting option: Industrial-grade DIN rail compatible enclosure for efficient cabinet installations.
  • Management interface: Web-based management and remote access over TCP/IP, with status monitoring and configurable settings for serial ports.
  • Environmental design: Built for continuous operation in challenging industrial environments, delivering reliability on the factory floor.

How to Install B&B VLINX 2PORT DB9 ESS DIN CU ETHERNET

  • Mount the unit securely on a standard DIN rail inside your equipment cabinet, ensuring there is adequate clearance for airflow and cable management.
  • Connect your serial devices to the two DB9 ports using appropriate cables (consider RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 configurations as required by each device).
  • Run an Ethernet cable from the VLINX device to your network switch or router, ensuring a solid link and proper cable routing to avoid interference or accidental disconnects.
  • Power the unit and obtain its IP address either via DHCP or a fixed IP configuration. Access the web-based setup page from a computer on the same network by entering the device’s IP address.
  • Configure basic network settings (IP address, subnet, gateway) and set up serial port parameters (port speed, data bits, parity, stop bits) to match connected devices.
  • Enable remote management features and set up user accounts with appropriate access levels. Establish security measures such as strong passwords, access controls, and, where available, encryption for remote sessions.
  • Test connectivity by sending commands from the management interface to the serial devices and verify responses. Validate remote access by attempting a connection from a different network or VPN if applicable.
  • Document the configuration for future reference, including IP addresses, port settings, and device mappings, to streamline future maintenance or expansion projects.

Frequently asked questions

  • Q: What is the primary purpose of the B&B VLINX 2-Port DB9 ESS DIN CU ETHERNET?
    A: Its main function is to provide remote access, monitoring, and control of two serial devices over Ethernet, enabling administrators to manage legacy serial equipment from anywhere on the network or beyond the local network.
  • Q: Which serial standards are supported by the two DB9 ports?
    A: The two DB9 ports are designed to support common industrial serial interfaces; compatibility with RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 configurations is typical for dual-port Ethernet serial servers in this class. Always verify device compatibility with your specific equipment.
  • Q: Do I need specialized software to manage the device?
    A: No specialized software is required. The device offers a web-based management interface accessible through standard web browsers on your LAN or WAN. You can also leverage standard network management practices (e.g., SNMP) if supported by your environment.
  • Q: Can the device be deployed in a DIN rail enclosure with other automation gear?
    A: Yes. The compact, DIN-rail-ready form factor is designed specifically for cabinet-wide deployments, making it easy to consolidate with PLCs, HMIs, and other automation components while maintaining organized cabling.
  • Q: Is remote troubleshooting possible if I’m outside my LAN?
    A: Absolutely. The VLINX server is built for remote monitoring and control, allowing diagnostics and basic maintenance from remote networks, provided you have appropriate network access and security configurations in place (such as VPN or secure remote access routes).
  • Q: What are the typical use cases for this device?
    A: Common applications include industrial automation and SCADA integrations, remote sensor monitoring, legacy device modernization, remote equipment management, and streamlined diagnostic workflows to reduce on-site visits.

Good value, soft and comfortable
Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large, Color: Black, Army Green, Light Gray, Size: 4X-Large
Initial thoughts are very positive with this 3 pack shirt set. The green is similar to an OD military green and the black and gray are standard color shades. Material is soft and sizes are true to size. The mock turtleneck isn’t too tight but may still be a little annoying to some people. I do question the amount of spandex in these shirts. Tag says 5% but these shirts are extremely stretchy and feels like a higher spandex content. It’s also a little tough to figure out which way is the front of the shirt. Visually rhe front does have a lower collar line than the back but would still be nice to have a brand tag printed in the back of the shirt for quicker identification. Overall for roughly $12 a shirt these are a good choice for everyday wear. I will update rating if these shirts fail to meet expectations after further use.

Just what I wanted.
Color: Black, Navy Blue, Wine Red, Size: 5X-Large
These may have just become my standard shirt to wear. Feels good whether tucked or out. Drapes well and fits well. So far, I can see it adjust to the different undershirt I may wear. Will probably order another set in other colors and a back up set of the basics because they will get worn a lot.

Its alright
Color: Black, Size: 5X-Large
True to size per the size chart. The fabric is soft but it it feels cheap to me. It attracts lint but you can brush it off easily so its not the cheapest material I've dealt with. Also, it is opaque (not see through). There is no front/ back indicator either which is indicative of a cheap shirt in my opinion. Would be friendly for tag sensitive people (to stay positive).
