Serial to Ethernet Connector

Serial Ethernet Connector is a convenient software solution that uses encryption for allowing your communication stream to security flow between two entities, the server and the client(s).

The application establishes connections by allowing the identification and transmission of RS232, RS422, and RS485 devices across the network for the purpose of mutual communication between two nodes.

The types of connections this tool allows establishing are the Ethernet LAN type (that references a wide range of physical devices that fit in the same socket — PCs, modems, routers, machines used as servers, etc.) and the TCP/IP connection, via the Internet. As such, you can establish a local connection between 2 connected nodes, or you can use Internet access and communication for more complex requirements.

Besides encryption, Serial Ethernet Connector promises to deliver fast speeds. Additionally to taking into account the data rates you could expect from the supported data-transmission standards (RS232, RS422, and RS485), Serial Ethernet Connector promises to deliver, through the created virtual ports, speeds of up to 256000 bits per second.

Although both a client and server are mainly two nodes communicating, it is important to mention the node-specific type of connections you can establish.

First, there is the feature called 'Server Connection' that allows setting your machine in the waiting mode for incoming requests coming from one or multiple clients (over Ethernet). After the connection is established, each client can transmit input/output serial data to the local (real or virtual) serial port.

The second option, the 'Client Connection,' allows you to place your client machine in the position where real or virtual serial port data is initiated and redirected toward the server, remotely, via the TCP/IP protocol. You don't necessarily need to physically be at the receiving end; all you must do to connect is specify the server's IP address the TCP port.

Thirdly, you can initiate UPD connections. These types of connection, similar to the Transmission Control Protocol, reference through UDP another Internet protocol that, in this case, is a bit faster and more error-prone, and in the context of this application, lets you broadcast all serial data across the local network.

To summarize, Serial Ethernet Connector is a useful application that lets you handle a large spectrum of methods for achieving your goals. At the same, due to a granular connection configuration, the tool is suitable for many use case scenarios, as remotely accessing different points of access, monitoring and configuring network-attached devices, directing serial data to virtual systems, and much more.
