TERMINAL SERVERS
WITH DUAL
IPV4/IPV6 STACK
CONNECTPORT TS 8/16
®
8 and 16 port terminal servers provide 232 only or 232/422/485
selectable serial connectivity for critical applications
ConnectPort TS 8/16 serial servers provide secure, easy RS-232
or RS-232/422/485 serial-to-Ethernet integration of virtually
any device into wired Ethernet networks. They are ideal for
use in a wide variety of demanding applications such as
automation, robotics control, centralized device monitoring
and management, data acquisition, and point-of-sale
applications requiring COM/TTY ports, serial tunnelling or TCP/
UDP functionality.
Enhanced access control, management and configuration
capabilities support key security requirements for critical
infrastructure and distributed systems. A built-in Python
environment enables application development and
customization at the device level, including full device
connection control, data manipulation and event based
actions.
The ConnectPort TS implements Digi’s patented RealPort
COM port redirection software which provides local serial
port functionality. The ConnectPort supports both host-
initiated and device-initiated RealPort connection modes.
SSH, SSL, TCP and UDP connectivity are also supported to
each port.
Management of the device is possible through Digi Remote
Manager, web services, CLI and SNMP connectivity with mass
configuration and customization tools available to pre-
configure devices prior to deployment.
