Network Connectivity for Serial Devices

The Digi International 70002043 PortServer TS 2 is a device server designed to connect serial equipment to an Ethernet network. It provides two serial ports for linking devices such as point-of-sale terminals, building controllers or medical instruments to a 10 or 100 Mbps LAN. Management is handled through SNMP, Telnet or a web browser interface.

Suitable for Legacy Serial Integration

This unit suits engineers and integrators who need to add network access to existing RS-232 hardware without replacing the attached devices. It is not intended for applications that require more than two serial connections or for environments needing higher serial throughput than 230 Kbps.

Two RJ-45 Serial Ports

The decisive specification is the presence of two RJ-45 ports operating at RS-232 signalling up to 230 Kbps. If your installation requires exactly two serial connections over copper Ethernet, this part matches that requirement; otherwise a different port count is needed.

Questions about this item

What does the 230 Kbps serial rate mean when I connect my equipment?

It sets the maximum asynchronous serial throughput per port, so legacy RS-232 devices exchange data at up to 230 Kbps over the network link.

How do the 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet ports limit real-world speed?

The single RJ-45 LAN port auto-negotiates to 10 or 100 Mbps, capping total aggregated traffic from both serial ports to the negotiated Ethernet rate.

What physical connections does the 70002043 need to fit into my rack or panel?

It uses three RJ-45 sockets — one for 10/100 Ethernet and two for RS-232 serial — so you need matching patch cables and panel cut-outs for each jack.
