Description by Publisher
Serial to Ethernet Connector is the software-based solution that allows you to share up to 255 serial port devices
over TCP/IP network turning your computer into low-cost terminal server. As the result, any serial port device
connected to COM port could be accessed from anywhere in the world as if it is attached to local PC. Formerly known as VSPD.Net
Serial to Ethernet Connector has completely new interface and greatly revamped engine. It provides the ability to create
three different types of connection:
Port-to-port connection, which lets you connect two computers over TCP/IP network. In this way you can emulate virtual
null-modem cable connection.
Serial to Ethernet Connector allows you to customize remote serial port settings locally or dynamically fetch these
settings from the remote end. With Serial to Ethernet Connector you are no longer restricted by null-modem cable length and
can establish direct connection with virtually every PC over the world
Port-to-TCP client, which allows you to connect to remote server and send/receive communication serial data over TCP/IP network.
All that you have to do is specify remote server's IP address (or network name) and TCP port to connect to and open local COM port.
Once connection is established, all
data sent from remote serial port device, attached to the server, will be genuinely delivered to local serial
port where it can be further processed
Port-to-TCP server: you will find it indispensable to establish multiple connections to local serial port
device and redistribute COM port device data all over the world. Server listens to all incoming connections at the defined TCP port
and redirects input/output serial data
to TCP/IP network. You may specify TCP port to listen to, COM port and TCP port access rights, etc.
Server could be configured to start automatically on system boot, taking advantage of Windows services approach
How does it work?
Serial to Ethernet Connector uses virtual port technology which fully emulates real serial ports and duplicates all their
functionality. Windows OS treats virtual serial ports in the same way as real ones therefore you are no
longer limited to just 2 real ports (less/any number of physical ports you have in the system) per system and may create COM
port connections without occupying any real serial port.
To create such connection you should create serial port's connection pairs on both of the computers.
You must specify IP address and port number to access to (in case you are setting up the
client), port number and TCP/COM options to listen to (in case you are establishing the terminal servers) or remote serial port name
to access (if you are emulating null-modem connection). These settings will be used to connect to remote computer.
When serial port device, attached to real COM port, sends communication data it will be actually transmitted over TCP/IP network.
Main Features
Share your serial port device with others using TCP/IP client-server application
Connect to remote computer using null-modem emulation
Provide access to up to 255 serial ports simultaneously
High speed data exchange from/to virtual serial port (up to 256 kbits)
