Introduction:

A serial port server, is used to transfer data between an Ethernet local area network (LAN) and a computer serial port (COM port). Serial device servers can be used with all types of serial devices and peripherals such as printers, scanners, data collection terminals, display devices, modems, automation equipment, security/alarm systems, and climate-control systems. Most serial port servers provide for multiple serial devices to be connected to a single serial port. Serial port servers are available for hard-wired or wireless Ethernet LANs. Some serial port servers can also function across Internet Protocol (IP) wide-area networks (WANs), making it possible to access distant serial devices as if they were directly connected to the COM port of a personal computer or network server.
