4-Port Device Server (CONV604)

Product Description

Conv604 4-port RS-232 Serial Device Server

Introduction
Make up to 4 RS-232 serial devices Internet-ready, Easy-to-use Serial Device Server. Conv604 provides a convenient and transparent way to connect serial devices to an Ethernet, with basic configuration all that's needed to network your existing serial devices. Protect your current hardware investment, but also ensure future network expandability. Moreover, the conv604 can transparently transmit data bi-directionally between the serial and Ethernet interfaces. You can simultaneously centralize your serial device management and distribute management hosts over the network.

Real COM/TTY Port
Conv604 works like an add-on multiport serial board to the Windows host, but with one major advantage_the TCP/IP network. With NPort's Real COM/TTY drivers, the serial ports on conv604 are recognized as Real COM ports by the Windows operating system, or Real TTY ports by Linux environments. Basic transmit/receive data functions are provided, as well as RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD (input) control signals. 4 independent serial ports can be configured for different operation modes.

Versatile operation is ensured since different modes can be used for different serial ports. Conv604 Series products are suitable for connnecting different devices for remote data polling, event handling, or data multicasting via the TCP/IP network. For example, you can configure conv604's port 1 for driver mode, port 2 for TCP server mode, and ports 3 and 4 for TCP client mode.
