Comtrol DeviceMaster RTS - Terminal server - 8 ports - RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
Device connectivity and application processing take a giant step forward with the release of Comtrol's new solid-state DeviceMaster Real-Time Server (RTS) server. For the first time ever, system designers and integrators can select from the industry's most extensive line of thin servers designed to network-enable serial devices. It is now possible to host and run applications, as well as enable remote maintenance and support. Embedded computers are the next wave of technology sweeping the market. The DeviceMaster family of low-cost, solid-state microcomputers provides an exceptionally powerful platform for performing application-specific tasks. And once connected to the local network or the Internet, their flexibility expands dramatically. Unlike typical embedded systems technology that provides chips, software, and components in a "do-it-yourself" package, DeviceMaster comes ready-to-use right out of the box. Comtrol has done all of the hardware integration and software customization, so you simply select the model you need for your particular application, and go! If you are deploying a general-purpose Microsoft Windows or Linux server to enable device connectivity, control, or local processing - save yourself some money. Comtrol's developer kit provides the platform information and source code required to extend the capabilities of DeviceMaster RTS with your own applications, eliminating the need for - and related expense of - a general-purpose server. Deploy DeviceMaster RTS right out of the box for fast, efficient, and cost-effective device connectivity. Customize the embedded Web server with enhanced HTML pages. Add Java applets. Select specified events for e-mail notification - or create your own. And if you want to port or develop an application to run on the platform, Comtrol's DeviceMaster developer kit makes it easy. The real cost of owning a server extends well beyond the initial hardware purchase price to include software, expansion cards, and, most importantly, system maintenance. The cost to dispatch a technician to a remotely deployed server often costs more than the server itself! DeviceMaster crushes cost-of-ownership by eliminating the need to deploy technicians with its state-of-the-art automatic server reset and remote maintenance capabilities. Comtrol's often-imitated, never-duplicated NS-Link software uses standard TCP/IP protocol to provide transparent COM and TTY port access across Ethernet networks, enabling applications to seamlessly interact with those ports as if they were locally attached to the application server - ensuring application compatibility without compromising performance. Unlike competing port redirectors that have difficulty supporting high-density data communications traffic, NS-Link performance does not degrade as ports are added. What's more, NS-Link SocketServer mode makes ports available to the software via TCP/IP socket connections, eliminating the need for OS-specific drivers and allowing "tunneling" between units over any distance via Ethernet.
