March 29, 2011 — United Electronic Industries (UEI) releases the UEI-RSS Serial Server. The software makes UEI's line of PowerDNx DNx-SL-501 and DNx-SL-508 devices accessible as standard Windows or Linux serial ports. The serial server allows up to 255 serial ports to be controlled by a single PC over a single Ethernet port. The RSS not only allows users to expand the number of standard serial ports available on a single PC, it also allows these ports to be mounted remotely. Using UEI’s standard chassis, the ports may be located up to 100 meters from the host; while utilizing the Fiber interface cubes, the serial ports may be up to 20 kM from the host. The UEI-RSS Serial Server is included with the purchase of UEI's DNx-SL-501, and DNx-SL-508 devices.
The setup and operation of the UEI-RSS is quick and easy, allowing the user to install the application, assign devices to ports, and save configurations in a matter of minutes. The status window displays each port's status and incoming/outgoing traffic. Status for each port is updated once a second. The UEI-RSS runs as standard communications ports in Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7 (32- and 64-bit), and Linux.
