- Description
- A terminal server. The communications server is equipped with specialised functions and security features for terminal connections to a network. Connects various devices such as terminals, modems, data switches, mainframe computers, and POS devices to make them available to network hosts and process. The server uses cryptographic protocols to transmit encrypted serial data over Ethernet. Up to 8 serial devices of any type can be connected to the port using the same IP address. Each serial port can be configured independently for transmission. Provides users with secure serial-to-Ethernet data transmission and a customer-oriented hardware design. Users can increase the port buffer size by installing an SD card. The server is specifically designed and manufactured for industrial applications and intended solely for use within industrial settings and business-to-business (B2B) transactions, not for general use by consumers.
