DS1206N is a BASIC-programmable board primarily designed for remote serial device management and RS232/Ethernet interface conversion ("serial-over-IP"). It comes with a fully loaded "serial-over-IP" firmware.

Similar to the DS1206 controller, a key feature of the DS1206N board is its multi-channel serial port. The device has a single DB9 connector, but can support up to 3.5 independent serial channels. If you're not using the DSR and DTR lines, they can be configured as the Rx and Tx lines for an additional channel. The same applies to the RTS and CTS signals. In total, up to 15 different combinations can be configured.

Three board modifications are available with different serial port and power supply implementations. It comes with a fully loaded "serial-over-IP" firmware.

Specifications
