ConnectPort TS 16 Device Server

The Digi International 70002388 ConnectPort TS 16 is a device server designed to integrate serial equipment into Ethernet networks. It provides sixteen RS-232 ports for connecting legacy or industrial devices. The unit suits IT managers and automation engineers who need reliable serial-to-IP conversion for wired infrastructure. It is not for buyers who require wireless connectivity or fibre uplink options.

Thermals noise and power draw

The desktop form factor measures 1.6 inches in height, 7 inches in width and 17 inches in depth with an approximate weight of 5 lb. Passive cooling suits the 10/100 Base-T Ethernet interface and 230 Kbps serial throughput. No fan noise is generated during normal operation. Power consumption details are not supplied in the source data.

Sixteen RS-232 serial ports

The decisive specification is the sixteen RS-232 ports supporting signals TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR and DCD at up to 230 Kbps. A single 10/100 Base-T RJ-45 port handles network connectivity. Management uses HTTP, HTTPS, SSH or Telnet with IPv4/IPv6 and RFC 2217 support. Buyers needing more than sixteen ports or higher serial speeds must choose a different model.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the Digi 70002388 to my network and what wiring mistake should I avoid?

Connect the single 10/100Base-TX RJ-45 port to a twisted-pair switch or router using a straight-through Cat5e cable; do not use a crossover cable or the link will not come up.

Which part of the ConnectPort TS 16 is most likely to need replacement after years of operation?

The two USB ports rated at 0.5 A each can wear out from repeated device insertion, so plan to replace the unit if they become intermittent.

At what sustained data rate will the serial ports hit their ceiling first?

Each of the 16 RS-232 ports tops out at 230 Kbps, so continuous traffic above that rate per port will be the first bottleneck.
