Equinox ESP 8 MI Serial Hub - Terminal server - 8 ports - EN, Fast EN, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485
ESP Serial Hubs allow you to place serial COM/TTY ports at the point of need, anywhere on a local or remote LAN segment. The ESP Serial Hubs communicate with an Equinox SuperSerial driver located on a Windows, Linux, AIX or SCO system. With the ESP, existing server-based applications have direct access to network-enabled serial devices, as if they were directly attached to the server. Custom applications are not required. The ESP Serial Hubs and the LAN are "transparent." With ESP Serial Hubs the use of excessive cabling is also eliminated. Networks benefit from cost-effective structured cabling providing cleaner installations. Serial ports and new devices can be connected in minutes "on the fly" and do not require opening your server or interrupting operations. Simply attach the ESP to twisted-pair Ethernet and load the device driver on the server. The ESP Installation Wizard locates and configures the newly attached ESP, giving you full control of COM/TTY port assignments. Ports on the ESP can be assigned to different hosts. Each ESP has an internal universal power supply eliminating the need for bulky external "power bricks". Serial Hubs are designed for versatile support of applications in industrial automation, process control, manufacturing and across a broad range of commercial operations including retail POS, hospitality, back office, medical, security systems and more. The ESP-8 MI hub features soft selectable signaling support for additional flexibility.
