General Description
The PortServer TS MEI adds switch-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial port connectivity to the standard PortServer TS family, making it easy to connect multiple serial devices to your network. It combines the inherent benefits of data networking with proven asynchronous connectivity to deliver powerful yet simple Ethernet connections for all of your serial devices.
PortServer TS MEI is ideal for applications requiring COM ports, serial tunneling, or where TCP Socket, UDP Socket, or UDP Multicast functionality is needed. RealPort®, with encryption and user authentication*, makes it possible to establish a connection between the host and networked serial device by creating a local COM or TTY port on the host computer, allowing software applications to work with networked device servers instead of requiring a host adapter.
PortServer TS MEI also delivers powerful features such as data security via SSHv2, port buffering and full SNMP management - making it ideal for applications like console management where device management and monitoring are critical.
PortServer TS MEI is also easy to install locally or remotely through a variety of IP addressing methods (DHCP, RARP, ARP-Ping) along with an application included on the installation CD that will automatically detect all PortServer TS MEI devices on your network.
