Spec Sheet

The PortServer TS MEI family makes it easy to connect multiple serial devices to your
network. It combines the inherent benefits of data networking with proven asynchronous
connectivity to deliver powerful yet simple Ethernet connections for all of your serial devices.
PortServer TS MEI delivers universal, high-performance multiport serial-to-Ethernet
connectivity and is ideal for applications requiring COM ports, serial tunneling, or where TCP
Socket, UDP Socket, or UDP Multicast functionality is needed. RealPort
®
with encryption makes
it possible to establish a connection between the host and networked serial device by creating a
local COM or TTY port on the host computer, allowing software applications to work with
networked device servers instead of requiring a host adapter.
PortServer TS MEI also delivers powerful features such as data security via SSH v2, port
buffering and full SNMP management – making it ideal for applications like console
management where device management and monitoring are critical.
PortServer TS MEI is also easy to install locally or remotely through a variety of IP
addressing methods (DHCP, RARP, ARP-Ping) along with an application (included on the
installation CD) that will automatically detect all PortServer TS MEI devices on your network.
Digi International, the leader in Connectware, makes device networking easy
