99443-5 DeviceMaster PRO 8-Port RoHS
DeviceMaster® PRO 8-Port RoHS
Product Number 99443-5
The Comtrol DeviceMaster PRO 8-Port is an eight port device server designed for network-enabling serial communications devices. When used with the included NS-Link™ driver software and a host PC, the DeviceMaster PRO enables placement of COM or TTY ports anywhere on an Ethernet network or across the Internet. In applications where connecting legacy serial devices to a PC without software changes is a requirement, a pair of DeviceMaster PRO units can be used to create a point-to-point serial tunnel across the network that seamlessly transfers serial data via TCP or UDP socket connections. This product is fully compliant with the RoHS Directive.
Highlights
- RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC compliant
- No serial cable distance limitations—enables communication between a host PC and serial devices located anywhere across an Ethernet network
- Software selectable—RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 serial interfaces simplify setup and eliminate mechanical tampering associated with DIP switch products
- Serial ports with enhanced 25KV surge protection— offers enhanced protection ideal for harsh environments
- Application Compatibility—supports native COM, TTY, or TCP/IP Socket communication modes
- Web-based configuration—makes setup and management changes quick and easy
- Rugged metal housing—enables panel and optional rack mounting
- Temperature rated for extreme conditions— operating temperature of -37° to 74°C enables DeviceMaster to function in a wide variety of harsh environments
- Built-in two-port 10/100 Ethernet switch—simplifies network connection
- PortVision® remote monitoring and management—automatically locates DeviceMasters on the network, enabling user to view status, update firmware, and resolve issues remotely
- Software Developer Kit—included for users interested in writing custom applications to run on the DeviceMaster platform
