cnReach Terminal Server

The cnReach™ Terminal Server delivers serial to Ethernet conversion enabling the addition or integration of serial connectivity to any wired or wireless TCP/IP network.

In addition to serial connectivity, the terminal server supports MODBUS polling at the edge that can be published via MQTT. Finally, the cnReach Terminal Server is managed with cnMaestro™ providing single-pane-of-glass management across the network.

Key Features
