When you need the ultimate in device
server performance, ease of use and
flexibility, specify the new 400 Series
from Quatech, featuring an elegantly
designedmulti-electricalinterface(MEI).
Quatech MEI device servers are the fastest
and easiest way to connect RS-232, 422 or
485 devices to a local network or the Internet.

Why Network A Serial Device?
Serial (RS-232/422/485)protocols are
a mature and reliable form of data
transfer, used in millions of products in
industries as diverse as:
IndustrialAutomation
CNC/DNCApplications
Banking & Finance
EnergyManagement
Security & Access Control
GovernmentandDefense
MaterialHandling/Logistics
I Intelligent Traffic Systems
Yet, while serial protocols have proven
to be reliable and robust, there are
drawbacks – cable lengths are limited
and expensive, COM ports are often in
short supply on the host PC, and the
attachedserialdevicesare notremotely
accessible for monitoring, service or
support.
Quatechdeviceservershelp overcome
all these limitations. Its hardware and
driversare invisible to connected serial
devicesandtheir softwareapplications,

Wizard. Within minutes, anyone with
properauthorizationcanaccess aserial
device over a LAN, an Intranet or even
theInternet!
The400Series modelsintroducea new
software-selectable Multi-Electrical
Interface to the Quatech product line.
Unlikemany competing deviceservers
on the market, Quatech offers MEI
capability on all ports at the click of a
mouse. LEDs visually tell you which
ports are using which protocol, so go
ahead, mix and match. Already the
performance leader, Quatech has
become the flexibility leader as well.
