Digi Terminal Server

Network optimization is very essential in an office or large organization. Improving your network efficiency will surely improve the productivity at your work place. A good terminal server and a high performance network card are all what’s required to improve your network.

Before choosing a terminal server your network administers would have to assess the size of the network. Once you’ve done that you would have to make a choice of the terminal server. The terminal servers for large networks by Digi are used a lot in offices and work places. The Digi ETHERLITE terminal server is one which blends control and performance with the convenience of an Ethernet connection. This ETHERLITE Digi terminal server is available in different versions right from 2 bit systems to 32 bit systems. The serial connecter connects asynchronous serial ports to your network. This device also eliminates the need for the installation of serial adapters in servers which are required for applications in retail/POS and process control. This terminal server supports dial-up and LAN-to-LAN connections for remote access to your corporate LAN or the Internet. This is available in desktop and rack mount versions as well.

Coming to the network card, there are many ways you can go across doing this. Here you can opt for going in for wireless network cards which will allow your desktops to connect wirelessly or get a USB to Ethernet card which will provide you with a wired connection. Wireless networks are quite convenient as they do not require a lot of maintenance and can be managed easily. The drawback with them is that they aren’t as fast and efficient as wireless networks. Wired networks are quite fast and are a lot more efficient. The only problem with wired networks would be providing infrastructure for keeping the wires hidden. If the desktops at your office do not have a network card then you would have to buy a built-in PCI network card as they save up a USB space. Network cards are quite widely available. The IBM Intel pro/1000 GT dual port network card 73p5109 is one of the most efficient ones available. This along with the Digi ETHERLITE terminal severs would make your network extremely efficient.
