Serial Servers

Serial-to-Ethernet

Digi serial servers are configurable, easy-to-use network devices that convert
serial data into network data, providing the flexibility needed to meet a wide range
of demanding application requirements. They consist of all the vital components
required to provide full network connectivity to any device with a serial port: an
optimized and robust TCP/IP protocol stack, remote management capabilities, and
a variety of serial and network interface options. In addition to providing TCP,
UDP, SSH and SSL connectivity for network-aware applications, Digi’s patented
RealPort® technology delivers a fully transparent COM or TTY connection
without any need for modifications to the existing software or hardware
components in your application.

Digi serial server technology combines the inherent benefits of data networking
with proven asynchronous connectivity. It transforms a previously isolated
device with a serial port into a fully network-enabled component, and also
migrates expensive dial-on-demand or “nailed up” phone line solutions to work
over local or wide area networks. The benefits are clear: immediate access to
information, improved flexibility and a significant reduction of operating costs.

With Digi serial servers, you can directly access, manage and control devices
through the network. Wherever you are, you are connected – anytime. All without
the time-consuming hassle and additional cost of separate wiring or the setup of
campus modems, simply by taking advantage of your existing network
infrastructure.
