Serial Device Servers
High Performance Serial-to-Ethernet with PowerPC®, Low Latency and Easy Installation
100 Series: RS-232 to Ethernet (LAN)
400 Series: RS-232/422/485 (MEI) to Ethernet (LAN)
Overcome the limitations of serial
protocols by network-enabling your
devices
Serial (RS-232/422/485) devices are
used in diverse industries such as:
Quatech, the performance leader in
device networking, makes it easy to
get started
When
you
need
unmatched
performance, ease of use and
reliability, ask for Quatech. We
feature the highest throughput and
lowest latency available in device
server technology.
An intuitive Installation Wizard gets
you up and running quickly,
automatically searching local and
remote subnets for installed device
servers within seconds of inserting
the installation CD-ROM.
Network settings automatically
assigned by DHCP networks are
displayed for confirmation, or change
to a static IP address easily using the
Installation Wizard - you won’t have
to bother with telnet sessions, MAC
address data entry or special cables.
Quatech Device Servers may be
managed through the Windows®
Device Manager interface or a Web
browser, so you can count on
trouble-free
configuration
and
maintenance long after the initial
installation is completed.
Available in 1, 2, 4 and 8-port
configurations, options include +5V
at pin 9 to power external devices
and industrial surge suppression.
Every model is designed to use the
same drivers, simplifying the process
to add to or upgrade your system.

Yet while serial protocols have proven to
be reliable and robust, there are
drawbacks - cable lengths are limited and
expensive, COM ports are often in short
supply on the host PC and the attached
serial devices are not remotely
accessible for monitoring or support.
A Quatech Device Server overcomes
these limitations. Its hardware and
drivers are invisible to connected serial
devices and their software applications,
routing data through an IP network to
“virtual” COM ports installed on the host
by the Installation Wizard.
The 400 Series Device Server models
introduce the software-selectable RS232/422/485 Multi-Electrical Interface
(MEI). Unlike many competing device
servers in the marketplace, Quatech
offers MEI capabilities on all ports at the
click of a mouse. LEDs tell you which
ports are using which protocol, so go
ahead, mix and match. Already the
performance leader, Quatech has
become the flexibility leader as well.
Embedded Device Servers for custom
enclosures
Embed a high performance ethernet to
serial converter in your product. Ideal for
OEM solutions, custom enclosures and
other situations where the external shell
is not needed, Quatech Embedded
Device
Servers
offer
all
the
industryleading features as our external
line.
