Device Servers for Quick and Easy File Transfers

Computers have evolved over time in terms of performance and capacity. Now that smart devices too have come into picture, there are huge amount of data lying everywhere that needs to be transferred between asynchronous devices. Security being the main concern for all data communication serial port not only provide secured data communication but enable fast transfer without any interruption.


These devices are connected via serial ports, USB cables, serial device server, terminal servers etc and data transfer across the Ethernet can happen quickly and also efficiently. Among the lot, these device servers enable one to connect any equipment with an RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial port to an Ethernet. It comes with lots of advantages and some of them are highlighted as below.

Authentic serial communication
These devices are capable of consuming serial data from a nine pin port, encapsulate in an TCP packet and send it through an Ethernet network via an configurable IP address and port number. This way the usage of numerous cables for connecting USB flash memories etc can be reduced and data transfer happens through easy file transfer protocol minimizing work place clutter.

Connect distant async devices
The second most important feature of these device servers is that they can access distant serial devices with finesse similar to connecting the devices directly to a COM port of a PC. They can be used with any type of async devices like modem, printers, data collection terminals and automation equipment making; data transfer across any device simple easy and straightforward. This technology ensures 0% loss of data and thus found to be very reliable and trust worthy.

So, these are the some of the advantages of the serial port to have un-interrupted file transfer and found to be very handy in office environment.
