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 2 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 211 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server for connecting two RS232 devices 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 211 can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation.
