DeviceMaster PRO 8-Port RoHS

Product Number 99443-5

The Comtrol DeviceMaster PRO 8-Port is an eight port device server designed for network-enabling serial communications devices. When used with the included NS-Link™ driver software and a host PC, the DeviceMaster PRO enables placement of COM or TTY ports anywhere on an Ethernet network or across the Internet. In applications where connecting legacy serial devices to a PC without software changes is a requirement, a pair of DeviceMaster PRO units can be used to create a point-to-point serial tunnel across the network that seamlessly transfers serial data via TCP or UDP socket connections. This product is fully compliant with the RoHS Directive.
