Overview
SUNIX DevicePort is the ideal choice to enable your current Legacy I/O devices networking. DPKS02H00 allows users to expand two RS-232 ports over Ethernet connection, and it works as a PCIe add-on card operation on any windows based tiny desktop, laptop, or All-in-one system. With SUNIX DPL2000Q High-Performance Ethernet-UART controller and exclusive I/O redirection technology, DevicePort creates physical COM ports that support real time data communication and Ethernet-COM port hot-plug capability; user can expand RS-232 COM port easily without complex software configuration that improves deployment efficiency to achieve greater reliability in commercial and industrial automation applications.
Description
The Sunix DPKS02H00 is designed to bridge traditional RS-232 serial devices with modern Ethernet-based infrastructure. By enabling serial communication across network environments, it allows businesses to extend the life of legacy equipment while simplifying deployment and management.
Its Device Port Dock Mode architecture provides an additional layer of security by limiting Ethernet connectivity directly between the host computer and the device rather than allowing direct router or switch connections. This approach can help reduce unauthorized access risks in environments where sensitive serial communications are used.
The device features two serial ports with support for data rates up to 115 Kbps. Multiple units can be connected in a daisy chain configuration, allowing expansion from two ports to as many as twelve serial ports using four interconnected devices. Automatic device detection and port mapping reduce installation complexity and improve deployment efficiency.
Industrial-grade protection includes 15KV ESD protection, 8KV IEC1000-4-2 contact discharge protection, and 2KV surge protection, helping ensure reliable operation in demanding commercial and industrial environments. USB-powered operation eliminates the need for a separate power adapter, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter.
