Systems and methods allow communication between an Ethernet network and
non-Ethernet devices. An Ethernet-to-analog adapter allows translation of
analog signals for Ethernet communication, and further allows translation
of Ethernet signals for analog communication with analog devices.
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 may be provided to
satisfy the peak power requirements of an attached analog device.
