Serial over Ethernet
Access serial ports over Ethernet network

Serial over Ethernet software allows you to share COM ports over the network and connect to remote serial devices like they were attached directly to your local computer. The program is designed to create virtual copies of real serial ports on remote PCs. If your computer lacks a serial port or you need additional COM interfaces for communicating with all of your COM-based devices, Serial over Ethernet software will let you create as many virtual serial ports as you need.

The Serial Over Ethernet interface

Redirect serial ports over Ethernet

Redirect Serial Devices to the Cloud
With a Serial to Ethernet Connector, you can easily redirect the traffic of COM ports and allow remote access to them through cloud infrastructure. The COM port is redirected to the cloud where anyone with an Internet connection can access it. Learn more
Redirect Serial Devices to Virtual Environment
This convenient software enables effortless access to COM port devices from virtual machines. You can use software for Windows and Linux serial over Ethernet connection. With this tool, you will work with a serial port on Guest OS like it’s connected directly. Learn more
Share Serial Devices over Network
The Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you share COM port devices over the network. You can easily access the equipment as if it is physically attached to your local machine. Learn more
Connect multiple serial ports simultaneously
Serial to Ethernet Connector enables sharing a COM port to multiple clients simultaneously for parallel operations with it. At the same time, it allows a client to connect to several remote serial ports. Learn more
Broadcast devices via UDP
With Serial to Ethernet Connector, you can send serial data via UDP and broadcast messages to all computers in your network. Anyone listening on the designated port can receive the needed data without additional setup. Learn more
Redirect Serial Port to Telnet
The Serial to Ethernet Connector enables you to connect to serial devices and equipment through the Telnet RFC 2217 protocol. You can work with devices that not only transmit data but also use signal lines for transmitting additional signals and other port parameters, such as baud rate, flow control, parity, data bits, and stop bits.

Redirect serial ports to virtual machine

Serial over Ethernet software is based on an advanced SOL technology that allows forwarding COM port devices to a guest OS running on your Windows PC. With Serial to Ethernet Connector, you can easily share your local serial port and access the device plugged into this interface from your virtual machine.

Software serial to Ethernet converter

Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you forward any serial port (RS232/422/485) to the network. In a couple of clicks, you can work with a COM port like with a network-attached device. The app works without any additional hardware adapters. Advanced Modbus Gateway (RTU/TCP) is also available in this software, and it lets you easily build multi-host Modbus polling.

Connect to virtual serial ports over Ethernet

The program gives you a way to create an unlimited number of virtual serial ports if you don’t have a real COM interface in your computer or if physical ports are not enough. Virtual serial ports will work exactly like hardware ones and fully emulate real serial port behavior and parameters, which also makes it possible to build a Modbus network.

Daniele Besana
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.
Stefan Mueller
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!
