How Can I Add Serial Devices to My Ethernet Network?
Ethernet Encapsulation of serial communication lets you connect your serial devices over Ethernet using Serial-to-Ethernet converters (also commonly referred to as Terminal Servers, Serial Device Server or Ethernet Encapsulation Modules).
TOP Server’s built-in support lets you use Lantronix, Digi, Moxa, Comtrol or many other converter brands without having to use their virtual COM port redirection software or device protocol converters.
This makes it easier and more affordable to connect devices from longer distances than it would be using serial connections alone.
