Edgeport USB-to-serial converters offer an easy Plug and Play solution for
COM port expansion. An external box alternative to PCI cards, Edgeport connects
serial devices to a PC or server's USB port, eliminating the need to open the
chassis, reconfigure and reboot. Simply plug in the Edgeport and in minutes gain
up to 16 serial ports to connect bar-code scanners, printers, or any serial
peripheral device.
Edgeport USB-to-serial converters offer instant I/O expansion for peripheral
device connectivity. An out-of-the-box (external) alternative to PCI cards,
Edgeport makes it easy to add serial, USB or parallel ports to a PC, server or
thin client in minutes – without opening the chassis, reconfiguring or rebooting
the system.
Designed for mission-critical enterprise applications, Edgeport is available
in multiple configurations for maximum flexibility and scalability. Choose from
compact form factors for space-prohibitive applications; single port
“bump-in-the-cable” solutions for notebook expansion; software-selectable
RS-232/422/485 models to connect any type of serial device to one box; metal
enclosures for rugged applications; models with galvanic isolated ports for
extended electrical safety; and DB-9, DB-25 or RJ-45 connectors to meet cabling
requirements.
Feature-rich design, reliability and unmatched operating system support make
Edgeport USB-to-serial converters ideal for mission-critical enterprise
applications.
