DeviceMaster Serial Hub 16-Port

Part Number 99460-2

The Comtrol DeviceMaster Serial Hub 16-Port network enables up to 16 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. The product is fully compliant with the RoHS Directive.

Highlights
