Serial over Ethernet

Make devices and applications wireless with Serial to Ethernet Connector

Serial to Ethernet Connector is an application that allows you to share COM devices connected to a computer to other computers on the same local network. It can also create virtual ports in order to exchange data with applications that use a serial interface. Serial to Ethernet Connector can be set up for a variety of uses, including access to serial devices from inside a virtual machine.

The Serial Over Ethernet interface

Serial to Ethernet Connector Features

If a piece of software running on a virtual machine needs to access a physical serial device, this can be accomplished with Serial to Ethernet Connector. This applies to both Windows and Linux virtual machines. Device Redirection to Virtual Environments
If one of the connected computers does not have physical serial ports, Serial to Ethernet Connector can create virtual ones. These ports can be accessed by software, behave identically to a real serial port, and can be assigned custom names. Virtual Serial Port Creation
In case the connection is interrupted, there’s an option to buffer data that’s being sent. As soon as the connection is restored, the buffer will be sent. This prevents issues with lost data and allows a more consistent experience in conditions with poor connection quality. Data Buffering
A port can be shared to multiple clients at the same time, both to receive data and to send it to them. There are options available to specify which clients can read from the port or write to it, making setups with parallel connection more flexible. Simultaneous Connection
A serial port can be configured to broadcast data to all computers on your network over UDP. These messages can be received by any device listening on the designated port, without the need to set Serial to Ethernet Connector up on them. UDP Broadcasting
he Telnet RFC 2217 protocol can be selected when creating a connection. This protocol allows the client to exchange various commands related to port configuration and flow control with the server and is commonly used in industrial equipment. Telnet Redirection

Advanced RS232 Settings

Serial to Ethernet Connector allows you to configure every aspect of your connections, providing nearly-universal compatibility with serial software and hardware.

Signal Line Configuration

Signal Line Configuration

Signal lines are fully customizable, allowing you to either disable any specific line or select their default states when the connection is up or down. Telnet-specific signal line settings are also available.
Flow Control

Flow Control

Enable hardware or software flow control to avoid data loss when transferring large volumes of data. Serial to Ethernet Connector also allows you to restrict data flow by setting a delay between messages.

Daniele Besana
Network Engineer
Serial to Ethernet Connector turned out to be the most effective solution I've tried so far. Serial port virtualization technology offered by this software is an efficient alternative to using additional computers or expansion cards. This technology is particularly useful in my data transmission system, as virtual RS 232 interfaces provide the simplest way for remote access and management of serial port devices over the network.
Olivia Lane
Pollution Control Engineer
In our quality control laboratory, we use specialized instruments which communicate with computers via serial ports. To avoid constant relocation and re-calibration of the equipment, we decided to try sharing the devices over LAN. Serial to Ethernet Connector helped us do this easily. Now, if somebody needs to connect to a particular device, they can share serial over Ethernet and access it remotely via a terminal server.

Solution Architect at Alpla
Serial to Ethernet Connector allowed us to connect the old devices with the new web-based app. The main reason for choosing Electronic Team was the interface of the software. It seems much more intuitive and modern than those of the competition. With Serial to Ethernet Connector, we don’t have to replace the older equipment that is connected to clients via serial interfaces and can continue using it with the new solution.
Emma Davis
Process Control Programmer
Serial to Ethernet Connector meets all of our key requirements. It’s reliable and offers password authentication and traffic encryption. These options are especially important to us, as we work with the point of sale terminals and need to keep our data protected. This app has made it super easy to access POS hardware via virtual serial ports shared over Ethernet.
James Meyer
Efficiency Engineer
The COM port sharing capabilities of Serial to Ethernet Connector has become an integral part of our diagnostic software for oil rig machines. After our engineers implemented the remote access functionality in our automation system, the service personnel can detect issues, affecting the system’s state, significantly faster and more efficiently.
Jacob Williams
Communications Engineer
I was looking for a way to pass through a TAPI device to a client Citrix XenDesktop session. Since it didn’t seem possible to map it to a client COM port in XenDesktop, I chose to go with a third-party solution. Serial to Ethernet Connector allowed me to forward my TAPI device across Ethernet to my virtual machine.
Claudio Corniani
Electronic Engineering Manager at PIUSI SPA (Italy)
We integrated the Serial to Ethernet Connector functionality into the hardware. This allowed us to virtualize a new serial port and redirect the communication traffic to the Ethernet port, without other modifications on our original software application. We increased our overall efficiency!
