Universal, high-performance RS-232/422/485 serial to
Ethernet connectivity
PortServer TS MEI provides switch-selectable RS-232/422/485
serial port connectivity, 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.
Digi’s patented 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
soware applications to work with networked device servers
instead of requiring a host adapter.
