Digi SCSI Terminal Server 1008 - Terminal server - 8 ports - parallel, serial, English
The SCSI Terminal Server provides from 2 to 32 local serial ports that require no complex network overhead. The ports, which are simple to install and configure, attach externally to the SCSI bus of a Unix or Windows NT system. The RS-232 ports can be used for connecting devices such as terminals, modems, and printers. All SCSI Terminal Servers work with Unix systems from Sun, Hewlett-Packard, DEC/Compaq, and Silicon Graphics, as well as with systems running. The SCSI Terminal Server attaches externally via the standard SCSI system bus, a single card slot. A SCSI-1 switch and two SCSI-2 connectors are located on the back of each unit. The unit can thus be easily daisy-chained to other SCSI Terminal Servers and a wide variety of SCSI peripherals. Unlike conventional terminal servers that must use Telnet and Rlogin to create pseudo-ports, the SCSI Terminal Server provides real serial ports that appear as local TTYs under Unix and as native COM ports under Windows NT. This makes the SCSI Terminal Server simple to install and configure, without the problems of complex network protocols. The simple instruction guide and automated procedures save you valuable time. The SCSI Terminal Server supports speeds up to 115 or 230 Kbps. The intelligent design allows this performance to be achieved efficiently, with minimal impact on the SCSI bus even during peak loads. A simple packetizing protocol allows multiple lines to be serviced with each SCSI transaction, minimizing bus-loading and decreasing CPU overhead. Operating system drivers for Unix and Windows NT are provided at no extra charge with each unit. They are available on CD-ROM or may be downloaded from the Digi Web site. The drivers install automatically and provide several useful utility programs.
