For the first time ever, system designers and integrators can select from the industry’s most extensive line of thin servers designed to network-enable serial devices. It is now possible to host and run applications, as well as enable remote maintenance and support. Embedded Systems—Ready for Mainstream Deployment Embedded computers are the next wave of technology sweeping the market. The DeviceMaster family of low-cost, solid-state microcomputers provides an exceptionally powerful platform for performing application-specific tasks. And once connected to the local network or the Internet, their flexibility expands dramatically. No Assembly Required! DeviceMaster RTS— A Real Solution for Real-Time Requirements DeviceMaster RTS is Comtrol’s solution for connecting serial devices and running applications that can benefit from “real-time” performance. Using Comtrol’s developer kit, the DeviceMaster RTS can be programmed to perform a wide variety of local processing tasks, including: • data protocol conversion • data routing • data validation • data tagging • data logging • and much more Unlike typical embedded systems technology that provides chips, software, and components in a “do-it-yourself” package, DeviceMaster comes ready-to-use right out of the box. Comtrol has done all of the hardware integration and software customization, so you simply select the model you need for your particular application, and go! Application Server Replacement If you are deploying a general-purpose Microsoft® Windows® or Linux server to enable device connectivity, control, or local processing—save yourself some money. Comtrol’s developer kit provides the platform information and source code required to extend the capabilities of DeviceMaster RTS with your own applications, eliminating the need for—and related expense of—a general-purpose server. Customize a Little—Customize a Lot Deploy DeviceMaster RTS right out of the box for fast, efficient, and cost-effective device connectivity. Customize the embedded Web server with enhanced HTML pages. Add Java applets. Select specified events for e-mail notification—or create your own. And if you want to port or develop an application to run on the platform, Comtrol’s DeviceMaster developer kit makes it easy. Crushing Cost-of-Ownership The real cost of owning a server extends well beyond the initial hardware purchase price to include software, expansion cards, and, most importantly, system maintenance. The cost to dispatch a technician to a remotely deployed server often costs more than the server itself! DeviceMaster crushes cost-of-ownership by eliminating the need to deploy technicians with its state-of-the-art automatic server reset and remote maintenance capabilities. NS-Link™—The Industry’s First and Best Network Port Extender Comtrol’s often-imitated, never-duplicated NS-Link software uses standard TCP/IP protocol to provide transparent COM and TTY port access across Ethernet networks, enabling applications to seamlessly interact with those ports as if they were locally attached to the application server—ensuring application compatibility without compromising performance. Unlike competing port redirectors that have difficulty supporting high-density data communications traffic, NS-Link performance does not degrade as ports are added. What’s more, NS-Link SocketServer™ mode makes ports available to the software via TCP/IP socket connections, eliminating the need for OSspecific drivers and allowing “tunneling” between units over any distance via Ethernet. No Local Support? No Problem When general-purpose servers are deployed for device connectivity and application processing, they carry with them a big price tag—local technical support. Engineers or technicians are required to install and configure the system. And if there is a system fault, technical professionals are dispatched to the site for system analysis, reboot, and even reinstallation. DeviceMaster RTS offers solutions for these problems. • System Reliability. With no moving parts, DeviceMaster RTS won’t crash due to hard drive system failure. And the dreaded “blue screen” will never appear because the system uses a highly reliable, real-time, deeply embedded operating system. • Real Plug-and-Play. Once it is physically connected to the Ethernet hub, the system can be set up, configured, and monitored over a LAN, WAN, or even the Internet. (No training required!) • Watchdog and Reset. If a software fault occurs, the built-in watchdog/reset circuitry can automatically restart the system. • Event Notification. Configuration options provide event notification capability, so that when a specified event occurs, the system will send an e-mail to the designated support technician. • Network Monitoring and Software Download/Reload. When the system is connected to the network, performance can be monitored using a Web browser. If the software on the system requires update or reload, that also can be accomplished remotely over the network—saving engineer travel time and expense. “Anytime, Anywhere Access to Your Serial Devices.” Software Selectable Ports— The Industry’s First COM Port “Software Toggle” Released in 1999 on the Comtrol RocketPort® Serial Hub Si, Comtrol’s softwareselectable port option enables users to configure the port interface using software controls, easily switching between RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 interfaces. Ports can be assigned protocols uniquely and can be mixed on the same platform.
