Web server

Serial servers can be accessed and configured from any web browser (such as Internet Explorer) on the LAN/WAN. This allows you to remotely manage the software and your serial device. It also supports off-site troubleshooting.

Heartbeat connection keeps you online

If communications are interrupted, the serial server will attempt to reconnect every five seconds until a connection is regained. This functionality allows connectivity to be restored without manual intervention.

Ethernet Pass-Through Port

VESR92x Serial Servers also feature an additional copper RJ45 port that allows you to connect another Ethernet device or daisy chain multiple serial servers. This Pass-through port functions much like an unmanaged switch.

Virtual COM Port

This mode allows you to access serial devices through your Ethernet Network as if they where physically connected to a COM port on your PC.

Paired Mode

Sometimes called serial tunneling, this mode allows serial devices to communicate with each other through your Ethernet network.
