DeviceMaster Serial Hub Family

June 3, 2015
Network-Enable Virtually Any Serial Device

DeviceMaster Serial Hubs deliver quick and easy peripheral connectivity utilizing the Ethernet LAN, Comtrol’s 10/100BASE-T product provides serial port expansion supporting Linux and Microsoft Windows environments.

Supporting RS-232 interface standards on each DB9 port, the 8 or 16 port DeviceMaster Serial Hubs are ideally suited for applications where you need to connect peripherals that are located long distances from the server. Serial ports can reside outside the server anywhere on the LAN—so the server can be kept in a secure back-office location while serial devices conveniently reside anywhere they are needed! What’s more, costly and inconvenient serial cabling can be avoided.

When you have multiple device servers installed, Comtrol’s PortVision port management software enables efficient configuring, monitoring, and managing of multiple DeviceMasters from one centralized PC-based application, delivering a graphical, customizable, comprehensive, and powerful management interface.
