Documentation Number EDGEPORT-3703 - pg. 1/2 USB to Serial Converters by EDGEPORT/1 EDGEPORT/4i EDGEPORT/2-232 EDGEPORT/8i Inside Out NETWORKSTM Models: EDGEPORT/4 EDGEPORT/416 EDGEPORT/8 EDGEPORT/21 EDGEPORT/2i EDGEPORT/421 The EDGEPORT product line of USB to serial converters are intelligent, stackable expansion modules designed for the enterprise user who requires reliability in mission-critical applications. The EDGEPORT products connect to a PC, thin client, or server via the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port, providing instant COM port expansion for peripheral device connectivity. Unmatched operating system support and reliable performance make these converters perfect for applications such as modems, printers, point-of-sale, and industrial control devices that utilize a standard serial interface. EDGEPORT provides the scalability and flexibility to quickly adapt to new technologies. Multiple modules can be added to a single USB interface, allowing customers to add WAN connectivity as needed. The capability of future connectivity to devices such as xDSL and cable modems means your network can grow with your requirements. Simply plug in, install the wizard configuration software, and you're done! EDGEPORT USB technology means never having to deal with card slots, IRQ jumpers, DMA channels, or device addresses when installing or connecting peripheral devices. The PC will recognize the device, automatically install the software, and run diagnostics-without rebooting the PC or server. The EDGEPORT products are user installable solutions. Corporate remote access and point-of-sale users dramatically reduce field installation and downtime costs. These units also provide connectivity to new and existing RS232/422/485 devices, leveraging USB technology to deliver a lower Total Cost of Ownership.
