A well-established data management system is key to efficient planning and carrying out farm operations. The control function in such a system is usually performed by dedicated farm software installed on a single data server. To get the required information, the server connects to farm devices like irrigation systems, electronic feeders, climate devices, etc. via serial ports so that the farm management software can collect data on the technical condition and performance of the equipment.
In case farm machines and hardware are located far from the single data center, there may be a need for remote access to the monitored devices. To make this possible, the data server and all required equipment are usually connected to a single network.
To access all equipment at a time regardless of its physical location, farm software needs to support a remote access technology that allows redirecting any serial port over any distance.
