INTRODUCTION TO THE DS72 NETWORK INTERFACE MODULE

The DS72 network interface module is a primary user interface for use with the BayTech DS-Series and DS-RPC units. The DS72 allows network users operating on a device using a TCP/IP stack with an ethernet connection, to access the main DS units, serial I/O modules, and (in the case of the DS-RPC) remote power switches. It also allows remote access via external modem to the serial port. This makes the DS72 an extremely versatile module, covering most applications.
