Digi manual Edgeport/416

Edgeport/416

The Edgeport/416 utilizes a standards-based USB bus for connectivity, unlike many serial card products which require additional external proprietary hardware to support the same number of devices. This Edgeport also supplies four USB ports, providing users with a built-in migration path as peripherals become USB-ready. The converters can be rack mounted and easily daisy-chained together. This Edgeport converter is available in two models: one with DB25 connectors and one with DB9 connectors. The two models are functionally equal, but differ in the type and placement of the connectors.
