Digi's EtherLite adds serial ports to an Ethernet network, eliminating the need to install serial adapters inside servers. Unlike the conventional one-session-per-port method, a single TCP/IP session services the traffic from all ports. 2 to 32-port versions are available with 115 Kbps throughput. EtherLite replaces the installation of serial adapters in servers for applications in retail/POS, process control, data collection and console management of clusters, routers, hubs, switches, PBXs and other networking devices with console ports.
