Eltima Serial to Ethernet Connector 5.0.5.301 is a IP Utility product from eltima.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Eltima Serial to Ethernet Connector allows you to share up to 255 serial port devices over TCP/IP network turning your computer into low-cost terminal server. As the result, any serial port device connected to COM port could be accessed from anywhere in the world as if it is attached to local PC.
When the attached serial port device sends communication data it will be actually transmitted over TCP/IP network. Such behavior is achieved due to the use of virtual serial port technology which emulates standard COM ports. In that case Windows OS treats virtual serial ports in the same way as real ones therefore you are no longer limited to just two real ports (any number of physical ports you have) per system and may create COM port connections without occupying any real serial port.
Serial to Ethernet Connector provides the capability create several connection types for three main purposes: share serial port for incoming connections (Server), connect serial port to remote host (Client) and share serial port using UDP. Starting from version 5.0 all SEC internal drivers for Windows Vista and Server 2008 are digitally signed by Microsoft.
* Share up to 255 devices. Our solution is based on virtual serial port technology and gives you the opportunity to share devices that are located on the remote PC like if they were plugged into your own computer. Applications which use the devices won't even see the difference. Moreover, OEM users will now have the capability to create your own libraries for authorization and encryption.
* Extended configuration possibilities. You can change communication port parameters even without reopening, configure ports every time you boot your computer, customize serial port's connection parameters (baudrate, parity, databits, stopbits, flow-control). Using Serial to Ethernet Connector you will be able to customize advanced connection settings when you switch to the new Advanced Mode.
* High compatibility. Fully compatible with Windows 98SE/Me/NT4/2000/XP/2003/64-bit XP/64-bit 2003/ Vista, HyperThreaded and multi-processor systems and works under virtual machine. Moreover, with version 4.0 you will be able to easily connect to remote computer using TCP/IP Telnet protocol, with the RFC 2217 Telnet extensions for COM Port Control.
