Digi International 70002411 32-Port RS232 Serial Device Server
Overview
The Digi International 70002411 is a 32-port RS232 serial device server — a ConnectPort LTS unit that bridges legacy serial equipment onto an IP network. Model 70002411 consolidates up to 32 individual RS232 serial connections through a single network-attached appliance, the standard approach for sites still running serial-dependent hardware (console management, industrial controllers, point-of-sale peripherals, legacy security panels) that need centralized IP access without replacing the underlying equipment. At 32 ports in one chassis, it fits data closets and equipment racks where consolidating serial runs cuts down on point-to-point cabling and lets administrators manage every connected device from one network address instead of walking the floor.
Compatibility
Built around standard RS232 serial signaling, the 70002411 works with any RS232-based serial device — terminal servers, console ports on routers and switches, industrial PLCs, and other equipment that communicates over a standard serial interface rather than IP. Because the interface is a generic RS232 standard rather than a proprietary protocol, it is not limited to a single equipment brand; anything with a native RS232 serial port is a candidate for this device server.
Installation Notes
The unit measures 21.0 x 21.0 x 5.0 in. and weighs 8.56 lbs, sized for rack or shelf mounting in a data closet or server room rather than a compact wall-mount deployment — plan rack space accordingly before ordering. Confirm serial cable pinouts against the connected equipment before wiring all 32 ports, since RS232 pin assignments vary by device.
