Share serial device over IP Network

Serial to Ethernet Connector is a solution that will easily let you share up to 500 serial port devices over network (Internet or LAN). It doesn't matter how many serial ports you have: with Serial to Ethernet Connector your computer can have dozens of serial ports with serial devices connected to it. Even if the shared COM port device is physically in the other part of the world you will be able to access it as if it was connected to your computer.

When the attached serial port device sends communication data, it is actually transmitted over TCP/IP network and back from the network to your serial device.

Serial to Ethernet Connector is also available for Linux OS! Now you can choose whether Linux or Windows OS will be a client or a server; broadcasting over UDP is possible too.
Note, that Serial to Ethernet Connector for Linux is a command-line product at the moment.

Serial to Ethernet Connector Linux version for ARM-based devices is available! Now you can share serial ports on ARM devices or connect to remote devices. You are welcome to request an evaluation copy of this version here.
Note: you need D-Bus to be installed on your device to use this version.

With Serial to Ethernet Connector you can:

Share serial port for incoming connections (Server)

Server connection will be waiting for incoming client connections and actually will share local real or virtual serial port over network. Server connection provides the ability to connect many clients simultaneously and each connected client is able to transmit input/output serial data to their local real or virtual serial port while Serial to Ethernet Connector automatically joins these data streams on server. Client can be any application that can initialize outgoing connection to TCP/IP server (SEC, Telnet, etc).

Connect serial port to remote host (Client)

Creating client connection will initiate local real or virtual serial port data redirection to the remote server using TCP/IP protocol. Client connection does not require SEC presence at the remote side. All that you have to do is specify remote server's IP address (or network name) and TCP port to connect to. Once connection is established, all data sent from remote end, will be immediately delivered to local serial port where it can be processed further.

Share serial port using UDP

You can redirect input/output data from local real or virtual serial port using UDP/IP as a transport protocol. This type of connection does not require SEC presence at the remote side as well. Besides, in this way you can broadcast all serial data over your local network.

Serial to Ethernet Connector lets you select data transmission protocol, which will be used for connection: RAW data transmission algorithm or Telnet (RFC 2217) protocol.

#	Feature	SEC for Linux
1	Share your serial ports and devices with others over TCP/IP network
2	Both TCP/IP and UDP/IP protocols are supported
3	Easily connect to remote computer using TCP/IP Telnet protocol, with the RFC 2217 Telnet extensions for COM Port Control
4	Share an unlimited number of serial ports simultaneously for remote connections
5	No limitation on the quantity of virtual serial ports or connections created (except your system resources)
6	Manage port signal lines states in connections	(for real ports only)
7	Verify connection's integrity by using "send command to keep connection alive" feature
8	Ability to send data on certain event in UDP connection type (when block of data reaches certain size, on receiving special char and on certain timeouts)	(also in TCP connection)
9	Serial port names are not restricted to COMxx only and may have virtually any name
10	High speed data exchange from/to virtual serial port (up to 256 Kbits)
11	Virtual serial ports work like real physical ports	(native Linux kernel virtual ports are used)
12	Automatically restore connection within a customizable timeout on connection breaks
13	Small packet transmission speed can be increased by disabling Nagle algorithm
14	Dynamically change COM port parameters without necessity to reopen or re-create it	(greater possibilities)
15	Ports could be automatically configured every time you boot your PC
16	Map your real serial port to any other virtual or real port
17	Customize advanced connection settings when you switch to Advanced mode	(without Advanced mode)
18	Easily track all program's activity in "Activity log"	(the log is considerably more detailed)
19	Secure your data transmission over network by authorization system and traffic encryption
20	Connection speed in serial port pairs is much more reliable and faster than in physical links
21	Ability to create your own libraries for authorization and encryption (OEM only)
22	User-friendly and convenient program interface. Availability of command-line options.	(command-line version only)
23	TCP client can connect to various servers with different encryption and/or authorization parameters
24	Fully compatible with HyperThreaded and multi-processor systems
25	Works in virtual machine
26	License Pack allows you to install this application on two computers to provide client-server architecture
27	Connect to several remote computers simultaneously
28	Renaming full port names in Device Manager
29	Separated traffic statistics for: - a serial port, - each of the TCP connections, - UDP packets;
30	Strict baudrate emulation option for virtual ports
31	Possibility to abort specified TCP connection

with Windows version:	with Linux version:
OEM documentation on how to work with service using PIPE and the OEM license key with the possibility of silent registration; Source code of security DLLs (auth.dll and crypt.dll) which will help you implement your own protection system; All virtual serial port drivers by Eltima for all Windows-platforms (as part of a re-distribution package).	The special OEM installation package; The documentation on how to work with the daemon using D-Bus; The OEM license key which allows you to integrate and distribute this technology; Several XML files for creating a wrapper or/and your own GUI control tool; The special script to get all the program settings and parameters of the created connections.

in Windows version:	in Linux version:
You will be able to use Serial to Ethernet Connector OEM license in the following IDEs: Borland Delphi, C++ Builder, Microsoft VC++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual Basic.Net, Visual Studio C#, Visual C.Net, some other "exotic" IDEs which our clients randomly report us about.	You will be able to use the XML files which are supplied with OEM license for Serial to Ethernet Connector for Linux to generate source files in any supported language. The XML files contain the description of API available via D-Bus. Thus, any compiler running on Linux (providing that you have a D-Bus development library) is compatible with Serial to Ethernet Connector for Linux.
