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.

Frequently asked questions
What is Eltima Software Serial to Ethernet Connector?
A software tool that redirects serial COM ports over IP networks, creating virtual COM ports so applications access remote serial devices as local ports.
How does the product connect serial devices over a network?
It establishes network connections between physical serial ports and virtual COM ports, forwarding serial data over TCP/IP or UDP so remote systems can send and receive data.
Can existing serial applications work with virtual COM ports?
Yes; virtual COM ports appear to the operating system as standard serial ports, allowing unmodified serial applications to communicate with remote devices through the virtual port.
Can a physical serial port be shared among multiple network clients?
The software supports sharing serial ports over LAN or WAN so several networked systems can access a single physical serial device, subject to configuration and access controls.
