SERIAL SERVER –
POWER SERIES
PORTSERVER®
TS P MEI
Universal, high-performance RS-232/422/485 serial to
Ethernet connectivity with versatile powering options
PortServer TS P MEI makes it easy to connect RS-232/422/485
serial devices to an IP network. By supporting versatile
powering options like power over Ethernet and serial port
power, this serial server can adapt to many applications where
traditional power options are not available.
Power over Ethernet (802.3af, mid- and end-span support)
makes it possible to run just one Ethernet cable to the device
server for both power and communications. The serial port
power feature enables PortServer TS P MEI to power a device
over serial using Ring Indicator (RI) or DTR pins. Power over
Ethernet can be used in conjunction with a conventional power
supply to provide redundant power capability to the device.
BENEFITS
– 2 or 4 switch-selectable RS-232/422/485 serial ports to
connect virtually any type of serial device over Ethernet
– Supports power over Ethernet (802.3af, end-span and
mid-span) or serial port power for versatile and
redundant powering options
– Patented RealPort® for COM/TTY port control and
management
– Modem emulation allows the device server to appear
as a modem to an attached device
– Monitoring and diagnostic utility
– Secure communication via SSHv2
Available in two- and four-port versions, PortServer TS P MEI
delivers universal, high performance multiport serial-to-
Ethernet connectivity. It is ideal for applications requiring
COM ports, serial tunneling, or where TCP/UDP Socket
functionality is needed.
*The RealPort encryption feature is compatible with AIX, HP-UX, Solaris, Linux,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2012. The RealPort
authentication feature is compatible only with Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 7,
Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008 and
Windows Server 2012.
