Hi.

Is is possible to by-pass realport with Etherlite 160, so that we can use this device in a non-realport OS ?  
(We are using Z-World embedded computers, with specific OS)

Thanks!

No, this product is OS/driver dependent. However, our PortServer and Digi One product lines will work as standalone units.

Is the specific OS in the Z-World computers based on some other operating system? If its Linux based you might be able to get our Linux Realport driver working, provided you can load external drivers on it. Otherwise, what UserID0 said 😉
