LANTRONIX 080‑338‑000‑R DSTni‑Xpress Embedded Device Server Module

The LANTRONIX 080‑338‑000‑R is a compact embedded DSTni‑Xpress device server module, designed to convert serial RS‑232 data to 10/100Mbps Ethernet TCP/IP network communication. It enables legacy serial‑based industrial instruments, PLC modules and field controllers to connect directly to LAN networks, delivering reliable serial‑to‑IP conversion for embedded automation equipment without major hardware redesign.

This lightweight embedded module supports multiple network protocols and firmware upgrade via TFTP. It accepts wide‑range power input and carries hazardous location certification for industrial cabinet deployment. Original production has been discontinued. It is widely supplied as aftermarket spare parts for legacy industrial communication hardware replacement and automation‑system retrofit projects.
