Serial cables are used to control and configure devices with serial ports. Connect serial port devices to Ethernet network using Serial to Ethernet Connector by Eltima. FREE trial version is available!
Serial to Ethernet Connector perfectly connects a serial application via Ethernet to serial port on a remote machine thus allowing working with serial port over Ethernet, no matter how far away the needed application or serial device is. You will just need to establish client-server connection between the machines. For that install Serial to Ethernet Connector - an essential Ethernet serial adapter software - on a client machine (the one with the application running) and create virtual serial port there. Also install Serial to Ethernet Connector on a server side - the machine with serial device connected to a real serial port. As a result you created a serial tunnel or a kind of virtual null-modem cable, with the data transferred from a serial port to Ethernet with the help of Serial to Ethernet Connector.
Warren Postma: We don't have to take our PCs apart ten times a week and move them around, and we found that other serial-to-ethernet solutions were harder to use, and less reliable, so they were frustrating us. We like the Eltima software quite a bit as it makes using our systems easier. Eltima's Serial to Ethernet Connector works great for us, and saves us from having to run 500 foot long serial cables, or from moving our developer workstations around the building to locate them next to the particular hardware we need to use at any particular time.
