description

The EQUINOX 2-port ESP-2 MI is a compact multi-interface serial hub that provides versatile support of RS-232/422/485 protocols for industrial/manufacturing environments and commercial applications, including hospitality, medical and security access control operations. Through direct connection with the ESP-2 MI, serial peripherals can be enabled to function as IP-based devices. Using Equinox software driver technology, operating systems can transparently access serial COM ports as if installed within the server locally -- while the server actually remains securely isolated in a back-office or remote location. The ESP-2 MI operates independent of specific network operating systems and protocols and provides for easy and reliable network access of serial devices, eliminating the cost burdens imposed by extensive cable runs and dedicated computers for application support. The compact size of the ESP-2 MI enables connectivity to almost any serial device anywhere while satisfying the rigorous environmental demands and unique needs of the industrial/factory automation marketplace. Selectable Connection Features and More Telnet Server COM Redirection Raw TCP Client/Server Serial Tunneling Web configuration   In addition to COM/TTY port redirection, the ESP-2 MI offers serial tunneling and Telnet modes of operation. When configured to work in tandem, two units act as a virtual serial cable over IP networks. The onboard Telnet server enables Telnet clients to monitor and manage serially attached devices.
