Computer Controlled Switching from
Anywhere on the Network
Wi-Fi 802.11b relay allow computer controlled switching from any computer connected to a wireless internet access point. A Wi-Fi 802.11 relay Controller must be within range of an internet hot spot, allowing computer controlled switching from anywhere on the network.
Summary of Wi-Fi Communications
802.11b Wireless Network Interface mounts as a COM port on your PC through your WLAN
Supports Telnet and Data Encryption with password protection
Embedded Digi Connect Wi-ME Wireless Network Interface and Web Server from www.digi.com
Plug in, open the COM port and start sending commands
SPDT, DPDT and Solid State versions
Control one relay at a time or all relays at once with manual and automatic refreshing command set
ProXR versions are capable of controlling up to 256 relays
Our WiFi Relays feature
SPDT, DPDT and Solid State relays. All are available with your choice of eight channel 8/10-Bit
Analog to Digital Conversion or
UXP Expansion Port on models, look for AD or UXP in the part number. All are of course
SignalSwitch compatible. All WiFi Relays feature the
ProXR Command Set and an
XR Expansion Port. Built from the ground up with expansion in mind, simply chain the
XR Expansion Modules to the XR Expansion port, one after another, to meet your computer controlled switching requirements to add up to 256 relays.
Easy Software Development
Communications and software development is very easy, simply write your software to speak to the RS-232 serial port (COM port of your PC), and install the included RealPort Drivers that allow you to map a COM port to an I.P. address. So you do not have to know anything about Wi-Fi 802.11b communications to speak to the device.
Many Communication Protocols for Advanced Users
Advanced users may want to employ other communication protocols to speak the the Wi-Fi 802.11b Relay Controller. NCD Wi-Fi 802.11b Relay Controllers can also be controlled using Telnet. I.P. Addresses and are automatically or manually assigned. NCD Ethernet Relay Controllers Aaso support security protocols such as Shared Key, WEP, WPA, and Cisco LEAP with support for WEP, TKIP, and CCMP Data Encryption.
Ethernet Available
We also carry a complete line of Ethernet Boards! An Ethernet Relay Board will allow computer controlled switching from any computer connected to a 10/100 Ethernet Network. To view our 8-Channel Ethernet Boards please

UXP is a new standardized data port, specifically for the purpose of speaking to various expansion modules. If the controller you are considering is equipped with a UXP port, you can take advantage of extended commands to speak to our growing line of I/O expansion modules. UXP in the part number allows you to:
WiFi and Ethernet users can download the NCD Network Component and talk directly to Ethernet and W-Fi devices through TCP/IP communications. Same great features as the Component Library for network device users allowing you to talk directly to Ethernet or Wi-Fi devices through TCP/IP communications!
