Overview
The PortServer TS delivers simple, reliable and cost-effective network connectivity for multiple
serial devices. Available in one-, two- and four-port models, it addresses the growing need to
connect individual devices to the network over industry standard Ethernet in many applications,
including retail/point-of-sale, building control and medical point-of-care.
Part of Digi’s broad device server offering, the PortServer TS delivers standard serial-to-Ethernet
connectivity and is ideal for applications requiring COM ports, serial tunneling, TCP or UDP
Sockets, or the ability to send UDP packets to multiple destinations. Digi’s RealPort
®
technology,
which features encryption and user authentication*, delivers the industry’s most robust, reliable
and versatile COM port control and management. RealPort 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.
The PortServer TS is 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 devices on your network.
Digi International makes device networking easy by developing products and technologies
that are cost-effective and easy to use. With over 20 million ports shipped
worldwide, Digi has been offering the highest levels of performance,
flexibility, and quality since 1985.
*The RealPort encryption feature works with the following operating systems: AIX, HP UX, Linux, Windows XP,
Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003, SCO OpenServer and Solaris. The RealPort authentication feature is
compatible only with Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003.
