The Com-Server provides everything you need for directly connecting a serial port to the computer network. All protocols are included (see text box and applications included with the product data sheets). In place of the standard existing RS232 port, various port modules can be used. The serial and network parameters are configured via Telnet, ARP/RARP.
COM Port Redirector The W&T COM Port Redirector for Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP/2003 also gives serially operating Windows programs the ability to communicate over the network. Virtual COM ports are installed on the system which behave like standard COM ports with respect to the applications. Communication with the terminal device is now however over the network and a Com-Server (data sheet with download link).
