NET232-DCE (female) Intelligent Ethernet to Serial Cable Adapter $99
Power_Supply: Encryption:
DESCRIPTION: The NET232 is an intelligent plug-and-play RS232-to-Ethernet cable adaptor that
enables any device or machine with a serial port, to become Ethernet network and
Internet enabled. Go from Ethernet to serial with the NET232.
It features a powerful built-in device server, so you can access your serial device from anywhere in the world over
internet! The NET232 is easily configured via a web page, and can also be
set up through the serial port. You can use DHCP, AutoIP or assign a Static IP address to the NET232!
There are two basic modes of operation,
"Redirector" and "Serial Tunneling".
Redirector Mode:
In Redirector Mode, only one NET232 is needed per
serial device. ComPort Redirector Software (free with purchase) is
installed on your Windows PC to create a "virtual" COM Port (e.g. COM3).
You can then use this COM port in your Software application just as you would
any physical COM port attached to your PC. Create a virtual COM Port for
every NET232 device on your network and connect to them all from a single PC!
Serial Tunneling Mode: In Serial
Tunneling mode, two NET232's are used to create a "Serial Tunnel" over Ethernet.
This can be thought of as cable replacement. Each NET232 is configured to
have a remote IP address that is the other NET232 in the pair. No software
is required to be loaded on a PC. This is also an excellent option for
non-windows PCs or computers. Now you have an infinite length RS232 cable
that is connected over the internet.
