Serial Console Port Manager switch - 8 ports (discontinued)

Serial Console Port Manager switch - 8 ports

Entered CNET Catalog: 04/17/2003

SKU: SW542A

Manufacturer: Black Box Corp.

Manufacturer description

The Black Box Serial Console Port Manager has taken matrix switching technology one step further. It provides 115.2-kbps data throughput and full flow control to handle the higher speeds of today's newer and faster data-communication equipment. It's perfect for connecting multiple RS-232 devices for on-site and dialup remote access! With the Serial Console Port Manager, you can access each port individually by port number or assigned name (such as Router 1), and any port can select any other port. Mix and match PCs and peripherals in any combination for maximum flexibility. Each port is configurable for data rate, parity, flow control, and other parameters. That means you can connect to a device that requires a special configuration without resetting the communications parameters of all other devices. The Save Setup command downloads unit parameters for storage to disk for simple reconfiguration or for special configurations. Each port can be set to one of four modes: Modem Mode, Any-to-Any Mode, Buffer Mode, or Passive Mode.
