Serial to Ethernet Connector 9.0.1288

With Serial to Ethernet Connector, your computer can have dozens of serial ports with serial devices connected to it. Even if the shared COM port device is physically in the other part of the world, you will be able to access it as if it were connected to your computer.

When the attached serial port device sends communication data, it is actually transmitted over a TCP/IP network and back from the network to your serial device.

Serial to Ethernet Connector is a solution that will easily let you share up to 500 serial port devices over a network (Internet or LAN) and access serial ports over Ethernet.



Whether you're looking at redistributing the Serial port redirection engine as a part of your product or considering Serial to Ethernet Connector software for an enterprise-wide deployment, it offers flexible and affordable corporate solutions designed to meet your needs.

Features and Highlights

• Share your serial ports and devices with others over a TCP/IP network
• Both TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols are supported
• Easily connect to a remote computer using TCP/IP Telnet protocol, with the RFC 2217 Telnet extensions for COM Port Control
• Share an unlimited number of serial ports simultaneously for remote connections
• No limitation on the quantity of virtual serial ports or connections created (except your system resources)
• Manage the port signal lines' states in connections
• Verify the connection's integrity by using the "send command to keep connection alive" feature
• Ability to send data on a certain event (when a block of data reaches a certain size, on receiving special characters, and on certain timeouts)
• Serial port names are not restricted to COMxx only and may have virtually any name
• High-speed data exchange from/to virtual serial port (up to 256 Kbits)
• Virtual serial ports work like real physical ports
• Automatically restore the connection within a customizable timeout on connection breaks
• The small packet transmission speed can be increased by disabling the Nagle algorithm

FAQs

What is the Serial to Ethernet Connector used for?
Serial to Ethernet Connector is a specialized tool that allows users to access and share serial (COM) port devices over a network. It effectively converts physical serial ports into network-accessible resources, enabling remote communication with devices such as industrial equipment, scanners, POS systems, or embedded hardware.

How does Serial to Ethernet Connector work?
The software creates virtual COM ports on remote machines and redirects data through TCP/IP. This means a device physically connected to one computer can be accessed as if it were locally connected to another, making it highly useful for distributed systems, remote maintenance, and industrial environments.

Is the Serial to Ethernet Connector suitable for professional use?
Yes. It is designed with professional and industrial use cases in mind, offering stable connections, secure data transmission, and compatibility with legacy hardware. It is commonly used in automation, manufacturing, and enterprise environments where reliable remote access to serial devices is essential.
