The 8-port ESP-8 Serial Hub allows you to place
serial COM/TTY ports at the point of need, anywhere on a local or remote LAN
segment. The ESP Serial Hubs communicate with an Equinox SuperSerial driver
located on a Windows, Linux, AIX or SCO system. With the ESP, existing
server-based applications have direct access to network-enabled serial devices,
as if they were directly attached to the server. Custom applications are not
required. The ESP Serial Hubs and the LAN are “transparent".
With ESP Serial Hubs the use of excessive cabling is also eliminated. Networks
benefit from cost-effective structured cabling providing cleaner installations.
Serial ports and new devices can be connected in minutes “on the fly” and do not
require opening your server or interrupting operations. Simply attach the ESP to
twisted-pair Ethernet and load the device driver on the server. The ESP
Installation Wizard locates and configures the newly attached ESP, giving you
full control of COM/TTY port assignments. Ports on the ESP can be assigned to
different hosts. Each ESP has an internal universal power supply eliminating the
need for bulky external “power bricks.
Serial Hubs are designed for versatile support of applications in industrial
automation, process control, manufacturing and across a broad range of
commercial operations including retail POS, hospitality, back office, medical,
security systems and more.
