devices from any computer anywhere in your network.

maintenance technicians in the field, even when no one's in the office.

Each of the NetGuardian's eight serial ports can be individually configured to serve as a craft port, a
channel port or a TCP or UDP reach-through port, giving you LAN-based terminal server access to up to
eight serial devices.
