The VSCOM series of Ethernet serial device server provides an easy way to enable RS-232,422 and 485 serial devices to be an Ethernet LAN/WAN ready. The simply and friendly VS COM-PORT Windows driver installs virtual COM ports from the Device Manager of the operating system and the virtual COM port is designed to establish a connection between the VSCOM and Serial devices that allows communication in the same manner as a device connected to the COM port on the PC.
Can control 4 x RS232 devices located virtually anywhere (via Ethernet or Internet)
Lan interface10BaseT/100BaseTx Ethernet
Driver automaticly finds NetCom devices in the network
Configuration over Driver Panels, serial Port, Telnet, WEB Browser, SNMP
Automatic mode switching between Driver and Raw Mode
Support TCP/IP, UDP, Telnet, DHCP, ICMP, HTTP, SNMP V1/2c/3, DNS
Overview VS NetCom 411 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server for connecting four RS232 device like CNC, PLC, weighting scale, scanner and other devices directly to the 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP.
In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial device via adding NetCom devices to the existing serial port. NetCom 411 can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation.
