PortServer® TS M MEIDevice Server Modem Series

The PortServer TS M MEI Modem Series allows users to create connections from serialdevices to Ethernet networks and over standard phone lines. It combines the inherent benefitsof data networking with proven asynchronous connectivity to deliver powerful yet simpleEthernet connectivity for any serial device.

PortServer TS M MEI is ideal for facilities that need local serial-to-Ethernet connectivity, withthe added ability to establish a PPP link using a dial-up connection. The modem extendsTCP/IP communications over a standard phone line, which creates a backup connection incase the primary Ethernet connection fails. This remote dial-up functionality allows usersfrom a central location to maintain access to remote serial devices at all times. Other applications include remote site console management for small branches and remote log-in viaa TCP/IP network for easy troubleshooting, monitoring, configuration or control.

As with all of Digi’s device server solutions, PortServer TS M MEI delivers universal, high-performance multiport serial-to-Ethernet connectivity and is ideal for applications requiring COM ports, serial tunneling, or where TCP Socket, UDP Socket, or UDP Multicastfunctionality is needed. Patented RealPort technology makes it possible to establish a connectionbetween the host and networked serial device by creating a local COM or TTY port on the hostcomputer, allowing software applications to work with networked deviceservers instead of requiring a host adapter.

Digi International, the leader in Connectware, makes device networking easyby developing products and technologies that are cost-effective and easy touse. With over 20 million ports shipped worldwide, Digi has been offeringthe highest levels of performance, flexibility, and quality since 1985.
