Connect and manage serial devices over IP. ESP multi-interface
serial hubs allow serial devices to become IP-enabled using
RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 protocols for industrial/manufacturing
environments and commercial applications. It's the ideal solution
for reliable and cost-effective serial connectivity at the
point of need.
The 2-port ESP-2 MI multi-interface serial hub provides serial
over IP access, allowing devices to be placed at the point
of need. Windows, Linux, and UNIX applications are able to
access network-attached peripherals as if they were directly
connected. Installation is quick and simple with structured
cabling benefits. Serial COM ports for new devices can be
connected in minutes "on the fly" and do not require
opening your server or interrupting operations. Simply attach
the ESP serial hub to twisted-pair Ethernet and load the device
driver on the server.
In addition to COM port redirection, ESP serial hubs offer
RAW TCP, serial tunneling, modem emulation and Telnet modes
of operation. When configured to work in tandem, two ESP serial
hubs act as a virtual serial cable across IP networks. The
onboard Telnet server enables Telnet clients to access console
ports of serially-managed devices.
Browser-Based Management
An internal web server offers a secure means to configure
and manage ESP serial hubs as well as ESP-View, a built-in
Java-based tool for remote diagnostics of cabling and device
malfunctions.
