Lantronix network card

I am new to arduino but I think this is the forum to post this in. If not please move it to where it needs to go.

So I found a Lantronix network card from a Bosch security panel I replaced. The Card is new. I want to integrate this card with my UNO r3.

I have looked at the tutorials and found the data sheet for the card but the pins are named different so I don't know how to pin it out to my UNO.

Would someone be able to help me with this and let me know if it will even work? can't beat free 99.

Here is a link to the datasheet. The pin out is on page 17 of the pdf

Thanks for any help.

Link doesnt work for me.

Upload the PDF to the forum

I found a smaller pdf with the pinout on the 2nd page,

I can't do a preview so I posting in hopes the pdf uploads.

You will need to read the full spec document

It looks like con 1 has TTL rs232 however there are multiple ports e.g. Port A and Port B

Also there is flow control on port A which you may need to loop back on its self for it to work.

On the arduino you will need to use software serial, as the hardware serial is already used to communicate with the PC

I'm not in a position to find the links, to the examples, so just google software serial Arduino and see how to setup the software and hardware to connect to another rs232 device

Remember that you need to connect Tx on the Arduino to Rx on the network board

Additionally you will then need to send commands to it, via serial

I don't know about this particular board, but the ones I have used, use an AT style command set like old fashioned modems

If there isn't an existing Arduino library for the AT command set that this board uses, you will have quite a lot of work ahead of you, to write library functions to do even the most basic of network functions e.f getting data from a web server, or acting as a web server etc

Great! Thanks for your help!

I wont be writing that program anytime soon. I'm just starting in the arduino/C++/RasPI adventure. But I'm havin a lot of fun.

I just purchased two MiNi ENC28J60 Ethernet LAN Network Modules. That will be used for now :slight_smile:
