The pIPer from BetterBox®:
Link serial ports anywhere your corporate network goes.
Polled systems can make use of the broadcast feature to gather responses from many remote devices.
Easy set-up from any unit.
Once you have given a pIPer an IP address it can be Ping’ed, configured and monitored from any other unit on your network. Use IP numbers to make & break data connections between units.
Do I always need to buy pairs of pIPer units?
No. Depending upon your application, you may be able to take advantage of pIPer’s port-to-many-port broadcast feature. Alternatively, your application may be able to use embedded commands to make & break port-to-port links between units. One local pIPer can be used to talk to literally thousands of remote pIPer units. pIPer can also deliver data directly to a UDP socket opened on your Network Interface Adapter.
Why shouldn’t I use terminal servers?
Self-repairing links. Every network packet is error checked and sequence numbered to ensure that all of your data is delivered error free. Should the network or the power fail, pIPer will automatically re-link when the problem is resolved.
Point to point or point to multipoint operation.
