Redirect serial ports over IP and the cloud

Our serial port redirector allows you to redirect output from the COM ports of a PC to any other computer on a local network, or farther if you have a static IP or a cloud server. Said server can then be accessed by other devices, creating a broad network of access to a device that was previously wired-only. Even if the connected computer doesn’t have any physical serial ports, virtual COM ports can be created, which will be recognized by the system and work identically to real ones.

Network Engineer
Serial to Ethernet Connector turned out to be the most effective solution I've tried so far. Serial port virtualization technology offered by this software is an efficient alternative to using additional computers or expansion cards. This technology is particularly useful in my data transmission system, as virtual RS 232 interfaces provide the simplest way for remote access and management of serial port devices over the network.
Olivia Lane
Pollution Control Engineer
In our quality control laboratory, we use specialized instruments which communicate with computers via serial ports. To avoid constant relocation and re-calibration of the equipment, we decided to try sharing the devices over LAN. Serial to Ethernet Connector helped us do this easily. Now, if somebody needs to connect to a particular device, they can share serial over Ethernet and access it remotely via a terminal server.

Solution Architect at Alpla
Serial to Ethernet Connector allowed us to connect the old devices with the new web-based app. The main reason for choosing Electronic Team was the interface of the software. It seems much more intuitive and modern than those of the competition. With Serial to Ethernet Connector, we don’t have to replace the older equipment that is connected to clients via serial interfaces and can continue using it with the new solution.
Emma Davis
Process Control Programmer
Serial to Ethernet Connector meets all of our key requirements. It’s reliable and offers password authentication and traffic encryption. These options are especially important to us, as we work with the point of sale terminals and need to keep our data protected. This app has made it super easy to access POS hardware via virtual serial ports shared over Ethernet.
James Meyer
Efficiency Engineer
The COM port sharing capabilities of Serial to Ethernet Connector has become an integral part of our diagnostic software for oil rig machines. After our engineers implemented the remote access functionality in our automation system, the service personnel can detect issues, affecting the system’s state, significantly faster and more efficiently.
Jacob Williams
Communications Engineer
I was looking for a way to pass through a TAPI device to a client Citrix XenDesktop session. Since it didn’t seem possible to map it to a client COM port in XenDesktop, I chose to go with a third-party solution. Serial to Ethernet Connector allowed me to forward my TAPI device across Ethernet to my virtual machine.
Claudio Corniani
Electronic Engineering Manager at PIUSI SPA (Italy)
We integrated the Serial to Ethernet Connector functionality into the hardware. This allowed us to virtualize a new serial port and redirect the communication traffic to the Ethernet port, without other modifications on our original software application. We increased our overall efficiency!
