Description
Digi ConnectPort TS series – Terminal Server with Dual IPv4/IPv6 stack
Digi ConnectPort TS 16 MEI or 8 MEI serial servers provide secure, simple EIA 232 or EIA 232/422/485 serial-to-Ethernet integration of virtually any device into wired Ethernet networks. They are ideal for use in a variety of demanding applications such as automation, robotics control, centralized device monitoring and management, data acquisition, and point-of-sale applications that require COM/TTY ports, serial tunneling, or TCP/UDP functionality.
Advanced access control, management and configuration features support critical security requirements for critical infrastructure and distributed systems. The integrated Python environment enables device-level application development and customization, including complete control of device connectivity, data manipulation, and event-based actions.
Efficient configuration and management of the Digi ConnectPort TS 16 MEI / 8 MEI is possible through both an integrated and secure web user interface and a powerful command line interface option. SNMPv2 support ensures easy device integration into centralized network management systems.
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 for each port.
Device management is available via Digi Remote Manager®, web services, CLI and SNMP connectivity, with bulk configuration and customization tools available to pre-configure devices prior to deployment. The ConnectPort TS also supports USB connectivity for data logging or configuration loading.
