EtherliteLite 160 Terminal Server (16-Port, RJ-45 Serial to Ethernet Terminal Server)Digi Etherlite
Cost-effective serial concentrator designed for applications requiring serial port connectivity over an Ethernet networkThe EtherLite family of network serial concentrators adds serial ports to an Ethernet network, eliminating the installation of serial adapters inside servers. It offers easy installation and network efficiency and control at a low price per port.
A single TCP/IP session services the traffic from all ports, unlike the conventional one-session-per-port method. This means less overhead at the host and less traffic on the Ethernet. With Digi's patented RealPort® drivers, the EtherLite ports appear as local TTY ports under UNIX® and as native COM ports under Microsoft® Windows®. These locally administered ports allow full control of serial ports.
Available in two- to 32-port models, the EtherLite can be used in numerous applications including retail/POS, process control, data collection and console management of clusters, routers, hubs, switches, PBXs and other networking devices with console ports.
