Minneapolis, MN -- Thursday, May 6, 2004 ... Comtrol Corporation, a leading provider of serial device integration technology, has new literature describing its PortVision(tm) serial port management console. This software is free to customers who purchase or upgrade to DeviceMaster® serial hubs or device servers.
The full-color flyer explains the features, advantages, and benefits of the new software, as well as complete system requirements. You can request the flyer by contacting the company directly, or download it from the Web site at www.comtrol.com/products/software/portvision.asp .

PortVision software offers breakthrough efficiency at locating and remotely configuring and managing device servers over a network from one, centralized personal computer. PortVision software detects and graphically displays every DeviceMaster server on your network. Now, network administrators see real-time operating conditions of each device server at a glance. Convenient menus make it easy to change, load, and save network configurations to one or dozens of DeviceMaster servers.
TCP socket configurations, interface settings, firmware updates, security parameter checks, and diagnostic information are just a click away. Easily name and group DeviceMaster servers into meaningful folders. Visualize each server and port with instant links to connector, power, and serial pinout information. PortVision offers the most sophisticated serial port setup, configuration, and administration capabilities in the industry, yet it is easy and intuitive to use-and best of all, it's free! PortVision software can be downloaded for free for use with previously acquired or newly purchased DeviceMaster serial hubs or device servers.
