Page 7: Introduction Of Jetport
Introduction of JetPort Chapter 1 Jetport 5201 is a smart one RS-232 to Ethernet serial device server. It connects the serial port of devices such as card readers, measurement devices, or data acquisition terminals, over Ethernet just like locally attached. JetPort serial device server eliminates the limitation of single host and transmission distance of traditional serial communications by creating access for multiple hosts in Ethernet. -
Page 8: Serial To Ethernet Technology Overview
Serial to Ethernet Technology Overview Korenix JetPort serial device servers provide perfect solution to manage serial devices via Ethernet in flexible ways, such as TCP server, TCP client, UDP, or Windows virtual COM. JetPort creates a transparent gateway for the serial communication to Ethernet.
