DeviceMaster Serial Hub 8-Port

Part Number 99465-7

The Comtrol DeviceMaster Serial Hub 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 Serial Hub 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 Serial Hub 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. 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
  • RS-232 serial interface on DB9 serial ports – providing increased shielding in noisy electrical environments
  • Application compatibility – supports native COM, TTY, or TCP/IP Socket communication modes
  • Web-based configuration – makes setup and management changes quick and easy
  • Real-time e-mail event notification – alerts administrator of potential connection and security issues
  • Rugged metal housing – enables panel and optional rack mounting
  • Built-in two-port 10/100 Ethernet – simplifies network connection
  • Temperature rated for extreme conditions – operating temperature of -37° to 74°C enables DeviceMaster to function in a wide variety of harsh environments
  • PortVision™ remote monitoring and management software – automatically locates DeviceMasters on the network and enables user to view status, update firmware, and resolve issues remotely
  • Security Features – SSL & SSH management, SSL serial data stream encryption
