PCS NETWORK DEVICE SERVER AND REMOTE ACCESS PORT SOFTWARE SUITE

USE UPSTART WITH PIM OVER INTERNET

The Network Device Server enables you to use UPStart with a PIM-R, over the internet, without a dedicated on-site computer. You do not need to be an IT expert, know how to forward a port, or open up a firewall!

Allows for the remote management, control and access to a customer's PulseWorx system via UPStart — eliminating the need to be on the jobsite.

Access or connecting to a PIM-R or other serial device at a remote location, over the internet, or LAN has never been easier. The Network Device Server (NDS-1111-PW) employs approved, industry standard TCP-IP and telnet protocols to provide all the necessary networking functionality with a very small footprint.

PCS partnered with Systech® Computer Corporation to develop a full service software solution called RAPS (Remote Access Port Server). This easy-to-use software package combined with the compact NDS hardware creates a total remote automation management solution for both residential and industrail applications — anywhere you have a network connection.

The Network Device Server, along with the RAPS configuration software allows for the management, control and access to a customer's PulseWorx system via UPStart while eliminating the need to be on the jobsite.

RAPS is robust, secure, and user friendly, saving system integrators and installers time and money. It provides customers with a safe, trouble-free solution for remote automation management access with the highest degree of secure customer service available.

Setup & Configuration

By combining the Network Device Service, a serial-to-IP device, and the RAPS software, you can now gain secure access to any serial device at a remote site via the internet, while keeping your clients existing network intact.

No end-user configuration is required — simply plug the pre-configured hardware into your customer's network and quickly gain secure access to the attached serial device through the PCS RAP Server.

PULSEWORX LIGHTING CONTROL SYSTEM

The Network Device Server is designed to be an integral part of PCS's PulseWorx Lighting Control System. It is also compatible with other manufacturers UPB devices.
