Device Server Overview

The Digi 70001807 PortServer TS 4 MEI is a compact desktop device server that provides universal serial-to-Ethernet connectivity for up to four serial devices. It features five RJ-45 ports and switch-selectable EIA-232, EIA-422 and EIA-485 interfaces. Management is handled through Telnet, SNMP, Digi Port Authority-Remote and HTTP browser configuration. Status indicators display link and power status.

Suitability

This unit suits engineers who need to network-enable multiple serial instruments in industrial or commercial environments where secure remote management and monitoring are critical. It is not for buyers who require wireless connectivity or fibre uplinks. It is also not for users who need Power over Ethernet support or higher serial data rates than 230 Kbps.

Serial Throughput

The maximum serial data transfer rate is 230 Kbps, which determines whether the server can keep pace with your connected equipment. The four switch-selectable serial ports accept EIA-232, EIA-422 or EIA-485 signals without additional converters. Input voltage ranges from 100 V AC. The desktop form factor measures 5.4 inches in height and 3.3 inches in width.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 70001807 and which serial interface switch do I set?

Connect the unit via one of the five RJ-45 network ports, then set the switch on each of the four serial ports to EIA-232, EIA-422 or EIA-485 to match the attached device; the step often missed is forgetting to flip the switch for every port in use.

What maintenance or replacement will the 70001807 need later?

The desktop unit has no fan or user-serviceable parts; only the external power supply may require replacement if it fails, and the five-year limited warranty covers the device itself.

What throughput limit appears first on the 70001807 under sustained load?

Each serial port tops out at 230 Kbps, so continuous high-volume traffic will hit that serial bottleneck before the 10/100 Ethernet links saturate.
