Eltima Software Serial to Ethernet Connector

Create virtual COM ports over network

About this software

Serial to Ethernet Connector creates virtual COM ports and redirects physical serial ports over TCP/IP or UDP networks, letting applications access RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 devices as if locally connected. It supports server and client modes, Telnet (RFC 2217), runs on Windows and Linux, and can operate as a Windows service. An SDK/OEM option is available to embed the redirection engine into third-party applications.
