Redirect Serial Port Data over Telnet
Serial to Ethernet Connector enables you to use the Telnet RFC 2217 protocol to access serial devices.
Serial to Ethernet Connector provides remotely accessing serial devices such as industrial monitoring equipment that supports the Telnet protocol. Telnet allows you to connect to remote serial ports as if they were local to your machine and maintain all functionality over connected devices. Using Telnet gives you the ability to work with devices that employ signal lines to transmit additional data such as baud rate, parity, and stop bits. Examples of this type of device include modems and printers that use the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) signal to indicate they are ready for operation.
Consider these network settings when working with Serial to Ethernet Connector:
The Raw protocol ignores all parameters and transmits data directly from the serial port to the network. When using this mode, you need to configure the physical port correctly to ensure proper functionality. You can establish multi-connections using this protocol.
Telnet with RFC 2217 extensions enables the server and client to exchange Telnet IP port information. Changes to the local port are communicated to the remote machine, eliminating any worry about coordinating the settings. This mode only allows peer-to-peer connections.
Set up a TSP server connection on the computer connected to the device.

Go to the “Remote connections" tab on the second machine and click on the previously created server to establish a connection.
Select a name for the virtual port and click “Create” to complete the connection.

You can now access the serial device over Telnet with the same level of control as with a direct physical connection.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
