Serial to Ethernet Connector：Access serial port over Ethernet network

Serial over Ethernet Connector
Access serial port over Ethernet network

Serial over Ethernet Connector will help you to connect numerous serial port devices to your computer remotely. Even if they are physically located in the other part of the world, you will be able to access shared RS232 devices over Ethernet as if they were plugged into your computer. The software creates virtual serial port over Ethernet connections and you get full advantage of working with remote COM over Ethernet or IP network.

Also available on Linux OS and Windows Mobile

Share serial device over Ethernet

Serial over Ethernet Connector is a solution that will easily let you share numerous RS232/RS422/RS485 serial interface devices over network, be it Ethernet LAN or Internet. When the existing serial device sends communication data, it is transmitted over Ethernet to the controlling software and vice versa.

• Share serial port for incoming connections (Server)

Server connection will be waiting for incoming client connections and actually will share local real or virtual serial port over Ethernet. Server connection provides the ability to connect many clients simultaneously without any serial over Ethernet cables and each connected client is able to transmit input/output serial data to their local real or virtual serial port while Serial over Ethernet Connector automatically joins these data streams on server. Client can be any application that can initialize outgoing connection to TCP/IP server.

• Connect serial port to remote host (Client)

Creating client connection will initiate local real or virtual serial port data redirection to the remote serial device server using TCP/IP protocol. Client connection not necessarily requires SEC presence at the remote side. All that you have to do is specify remote server's IP address (or network name) and TCP port to connect to. Once connection is established, all communications will go over Ethernet.

• Share serial port using UDP

You can redirect input/output data from local real or virtual serial port using UDP/IP as a transport protocol. This type of connection does not require SEC presence at the remote side as well. Besides, in this way you can broadcast all serial data over your local network. 

Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you select data transmission protocol, which will be used for connection: RAW data transmission algorithm or Telnet (RFC 2217) protocol.

• Serial to Ethernet Connector for Linux OS is available

Serial to Ethernet Connector is also available for Linux OS! Now you can choose whether Linux or Windows OS will be a client or a server; broadcasting over UDP is possible too. Note, that Linux version is a command-line product at the moment. 
 

Linux version for ARM-based devices is available. Now you can share serial ports on ARM devices or connect to remote devices. Note: you need D-Bus to be installed on your device to use this version.

Serial to Ethernet Connector features worth mentioning

Serial to Ethernet software offers various additional options that take RS232 over Ethernet sharing to the next level.

Send and receive RAW data

You can select RAW data transmission protocol, which will be used for the connection. During a raw serial over TCP session, all data will be transmitted as it is sent, without any protocol-specific application-layer formatting.

Change COM port parameters remotely

With the Telnet protocol (RFC 2217) the server and the client are able to exchange the COM ports configuration and have the ability to notify the remote host of any changes in the settings or the line states of the local COM ports.

Works as Windows service

Serial over Ethernet software runs as a Windows service. This ensures that all connections are automatically reconfigured on system boot, before user login. In addition, that means that the interface can be safely closed after configuring all settings, and all your serial over LAN connections will be still maintained.

Smart data sending

Apply settings that will help you control the way the data is sent over the serial to network connection. Add pauses between the network packets or accumulate data in a buffer for a specific amount of time or until it reaches a specified size before being sent, etc.
