The new Serial over the NET (SN3101) three-in-one serial device server supports RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485 data transfers, as well as provides Ethernet connectivity for a wide variety of serial devices used in commercial applications.

These applications include industrial control, data acquisition, access control, environment monitoring, banking, telecommunications, and remote site management among others.

The SN3101 also features Real COM Port support, which allows devices connected to this ‘virtual’ port to appear as though they are directly connected to a COM port on a local computer. This is a value add for users of POS terminals, barcode readers and serial printers.

The SN3101 single-port device supports diversified serial data access operations to meet a broad range of application requirements (console management, Real COM, TCP server, TCP client, UDP, Modbus, serial tunnel and virtual modem). This capability offers direct access from PCs to remote serial devices as if these products were located locally and reduces the typical port number and distance limitations of PC hardware.
