Transfer Serial Data to the Cloud
Installing Serial to Ethernet Connector on a cloud server gives it access to network-connected local serial ports.
Serial to Ethernet Connector supports communication between cloud computers and virtually any type of serial port device or peripheral equipment. Cloud computers running application software can access and control serial devices with the same functionality as achieved with a direct connection to the COM port or device.
Supported cloud environments
Serial to Ethernet Connector supports redirecting serial port devices in multiple cloud environments including Azure, AWS, VMware ESX, Oracle, UIBM Cloud, and Google Cloud.
How to establish cloud access to a serial port device
Create a virtual port on the cloud computer with a connection type of server and Telnet for data transmission type.
3
Configure the physical serial port on the local computer with the connection type client. Use the cloud’s real IP address and the TCP port number for the connection address.
4
You can now access the serial port device from the cloud machine.
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.

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!
