ETHERNET-TO-ANALOG CONTROLLER

摘要

Systems and methods allow communication between an Ethernet network (16) and non-Ethernet devices (12). An Ethernet-to-analog adapter (10) allows translation of analog signals for Ethernet communication, and further allows translation of Ethernet signals for analog communication with analog devices (12). Ethernet-to-analog adapters allow for power management and monitoring of attached analog devices and employ Power over Ethernet (PoE) to supply power to analog devices. A rechargeable battery (14) may be provided to satisfy the peak power requirements of an attached analog device.
