The PortServer II is a high performance serial server that connects clusters of 16 to 64 high-speed serial ports to any TCP/IP Ethernet network. It supports asynchronous terminals, modems, printers and other serial devices. The PortServer II is hardware independent, allowing users to access any type of networked server supporting TCP/IP. Target applications include distributed workgroups and retail/POS stations.

As with all Digi external serial server products, the PortServer II incorporates Digi's patented RealPort® COM port redirection software which provides local serial port functionality as well as incoming and outgoing Rlogin and Telnet sessions on each port. Digi Port Authority - Remote (DPA-Remote) gives PortServer II users a management tool for monitoring network and serial activity from a Windows or UNIX-based client or server.
