NETWORK SERIAL
CONCENTRATOR
ETHERLITE
®
Cost-effective serial concentrator designed
for applications requiring serial port
connectivity over an Ethernet network
The EtherLite family of network serial concentrators adds
serial ports to an Ethernet network, eliminating the installation
of serial adapters inside servers. It offers easy installation and
network efficiency and control at a low price per port.
A single TCP/IP session services the traffic from all ports, unlike
the conventional one-session-per-port method. This means
less overhead at the host and less traffic on the Ethernet. With
Digi’s patented RealPort® drivers, the EtherLite ports appear
as local TTY ports under UNIX® and as native COM ports under
Microsoft® Windows®. These locally administered ports allow
full control of serial ports.
Available in two- to 32-port models, the EtherLite can be
used in numerous applications including retail/POS, process
control, data collection and console management of clusters,
routers, hubs, switches, PBXs and other networking devices
with console ports.
BENEFITS
– 2, 8, 16 or 32 asynchronous serial ports
– Minimizes Ethernet traffic by multiplexing all serial
ports into a single TCP/IP session
– Patented RealPort drivers for UNIX, Linux
and Windows
– Delivers real serial ports, without Telnet, Rlogin,
Reverse Telnet or other complex networking
overhead
– Full support for hardware signaling
– RS-232/422 switchable model available
