The DEVICE MASTER CONTROL RTS 16-PORT is a 16-port device server that network-enables serial communications devices, extending COM and TTY ports across Ethernet networks and the internet. It integrates legacy serial equipment into modern network infrastructures without requiring device-side software modifications. The unit operates as a point-to-point serial tunnel using TCP or UDP socket connections, enabling data transfer between two units regardless of physical location. Software-selectable RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces support native COM, TTY, or TCP/IP socket communication modes. Enhanced security includes SSL & SSH management and SSL serial data stream encryption.
