Multi-port iPocket replacement
« on: July 18, 2014, 12:43:00 PM »
Does anyone know of a good iPocket replacement that gives you 3 or 4 serial ports over one Ethernet connection? I know there is the Ether232DUO that gives you two ports, but we have been doing several hotels lately and installing 3 iPockets works fine, but it is a huge cabling mess once you install a little 5-port switch, 3 iPockets, and all the associated patch cords and serial cables... if there was a 3 or 4 port version of this it would make the installation so much simpler.

This is USB, but may find a USB-to-Ethernet cable on here, too..............

interesting, those about 1/3 the price of the Edgeport devices we had been using, wonder if they are any good...

USB to Ethernet won't help here... Do you understand how the Mites uses iPockets? They act as a telnet client to the PBX for various interfaces line PMS, VM-PMS, and SMDR.

Sorry....never actually did this in the field (or anywhere else, for that matter). I'm just trying to help with the adapter. Thanks.

Just lots of iPockets... it works, just a mess.
