Terminal Servers allow the administration of any device with a serial port (RS232 / RS422 or RS485). All devices can be accessed, controlled and managed through a LAN, WAN or IP connection. The Digi PortServer TS 8/16 family of terminal servers delivers simple, reliable, and cost effective RS-232/422/485 serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for a wide range of applications.
PortServer TS 8/16 incorporates Digi's patented RealPort® software, which provides local serial port functionality as well as incoming and outgoing Rlogin and Telnet sessions on each port. Digi Port Authority - Remote (DPA-Remote) gives users a management tool for monitoring network and serial activity from a Windows or UNIX-based client or server.
The SSH protocol is used for secure communications between computer platforms. SSH uses an encryption technique that does not require the transfer of passwords between accounts. Using a Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), SSH generates and employs a public/private key-pair to identify a user to an account and to allow other users access to the account.
