[time-nuts] rs-422 rs-232 to fast ethernet converter

[Didier Juges]

Graham,

There are a number of WiFi to serial modules like the one I use on my Thunderbolt monitor: The Microchip WiFly RN-XV-171. Once configured (typically using a PC), they will present a TCPIP port (TCP or UDP) from which you can get and send data directly to the serial port.

Alternately, you can use Digi XBee modules that work like wireless RS232 isolators. I use the XSC Pro 900 MHz for a number of projects, including data loggers that are out of WiFi range. You can get well over a mile in open space with those. They are limited to 19200 bauds at the most.
