ESP-16 MI
Formerly Equinox.
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 16-port ESP-16 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 ManagementAn 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.
