Overview
Target Applications
PortServer TS 8/16 serial servers deliver intelligent, reliable
and cost-effective RS-232/422/485 serial-to-Ethernet
connectivity. They support data center console port
management applications, as well as property management,
point-of-sale, data acquisition, industrial automation, power
utilities, travel reservations and other applications requiring
serial-to-IP connectivity.
PortServer TS 8/16 incorporates Digi’s patented RealPort®
COM port redirection software, which provides local serial
port functionality. Incoming and outgoing Rlogin and Telnet
sessions are also supported on each port. Digi Port Authority
- Remote (DPA-Remote) gives users a management tool for
monitoring network and serial activity from a Windows or
UNIX-based client or server.
In addition, PortServer TS 8/16 serial servers provide SSHv2
encryption to protect against unauthorized monitoring of LAN
traffic and port buffering to capture vital information from the
serial ports of managed UNIX servers for problem resolution.
Reliable, cost-effective serial-to-network connectivity.
