The Managed Device Server MDS-10 is a single port, compact Device Server that offers a cost effective means to access serial devices over standard TCP/IP networks.In the new millennium, pervasive IP networks are rapidly making global communications a cost effective reality. However, countless devices are unable to attach to this global network. Using the EQUINOX Managed Device Server, you can now leverage this cost effective infrastructure when making serial connections to local or remote devices. Ideal for security, medical, building automation, retail POS, instrumentation, process control and similar device-oriented applications, the Managed Device Server is easy to install and manage, smaller than a deck of cards and eliminates the need for bulky and expensive remote computers. Best of all, software customization is not required; the MDS shields existing applications from any changes.
