About MultiPort
MultiPort is a multi serial communication device which makes PC to a multi-user or Multi device
system by applying it. Multi-user system or RAS(Remote Access System) is a system which
enables a server computer to be used together by multi users thru the terminal at distance or to
have the information used together.
All the users can access to the server thru the MultiPort equipped on the server at distance and
can use the device connected to the network as if it is his own one, or can access to the file
server as if he is on the LAN. In many cases only one computer is used simultaneously by multi
staff in the company due to the function and economic reason. What makes it possible is the
multi communication access device which connects the operating system with multi user
function and multi users. The typical ones are LAN and the asynchronous serial communication
port. Of these the device which connects the host and multi users locating at distance by using
asynchronous communication port is the MultiPort.
The multi device system is mainly used for the automation system, and it collects and distributes
the data at real time created from each device, or control various devices at distance by a
computer installed at center with several asynchronous devices connected. In other words the
user at center can work at the real time by catching the present status of all devices located at
distance, or controlling the movement of them thru the MultiPort of the computer at cente
