Here is a guide to choose a good serial device server that can help your work instead of increase your workload.
The serial devices may be distributed in different remote locations, thus it is essentials that all configurations can be done in one management interface, no matter in Windows utility, Web, or Telnet consoles.
Korenix JetPort comes with most powerful management software, that can configure all serial devices in different locations by the Group IP/Setup Wizard.
In some applications that maybe 115.2Kbps is sufficient for traditional serial communication, however, to communicate with 100M Ethernet, it is more guaranteed if the serial speed is higher than 230.4kbps.
Korenix JetPort 5201 achieves industry's highest serial speed with 460.8kbps, and 45600byte/s throughput.
The latency for serial to Ethernet can be below 10ms to ensure that your application will not be interrupted.
To manage the increasing number of network devices, it is common practice to use SNMP management software.
A good serial device server should support SNMP trap and Email to automatically notify administrators for abnormal events.
JetPort 5201 device server supports SNMP and trap/email warning that can significantly reduce system downtime.
To deal with various serial communications, a good serial device server should support advance alive check setting or data packing options.
JetPort serial device server supports advance settings such as serial TX/RX timeout, TCP alive check, delimiter for data packing and others.
