User manual for the ZLAN9153 fiber‑optic serial server, detailing features, specifications and setup instructions.
About this manual
The ZLAN9153 fiber‑optic serial server, developed by Shanghai Zhuolan Information Technology Co., provides transparent RS232/RS485/RS422 data transmission over single‑mode SC fiber. It supports full‑duplex, high‑speed data forwarding, TCP/UDP communication, and includes a built‑in web server for configuration.
The device is available in two sub‑models (ZLAN9153‑3 A‑end and ZLAN9153‑5 B‑end) that must be paired oppositely for link mode. It can be used singly with a fiber‑to‑Ethernet converter or in a paired configuration to extend serial links up to 20 km. Configuration is performed via the free ZLVircom Windows tool, either over the network or through a direct serial connection. This manual is written in Chinese.
