Overview
The wireless serial over IP device server lets you remotely access and manage an industrial serial device over a WiFi or wired network, with the added benefit of redundant power inputs to prevent downtime in the event of a power surge or failure.
For more control options, the device server is compatible with the free, StarTech.com Serial Device Application Software (NETRSAPP). When coupled with the NETRS232485W, this handy application for iOS, Android, and Chrome Browser lets you build a custom serial control interface that’s tailored to your specific application.
To eliminate the hassle of laying additional Ethernet cable, this wireless device server lets you connect your RS232/422/485 serial device in a location where a wired network connection is unavailable, with support for 802.11 B/G WiFi connections and a 10/100Mbps wired network port for added flexibility.
Ideal for industrial environments, the serial to Ethernet device server accepts wide-range 12-48V DC power input via a terminal block or an optional DC jack, enabling you to add redundant power with a secondary adapter (e.g. 12V DC 1.5A Power Adapter SKU: IM12D1500P - sold separately).
This device server supports baud rates up to 230.4Kbps which provides a smooth connection to your serial devices. The server also offers support for HTTPS, SSH and SSL to ensure secure communication, while integrating remote Telnet configuration and support for IP, HTTP, ICMP, DHCP, TCP and UDP protocols. You can customize the serial device server to suit your application with versatile browser-based or virtual com port software configuration.
Ensuring performance in harsh environments, this serial device server offers 8KV air, and 4KV contact ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) protection and features a rugged, IP-30 case design that is both DIN rail and wall-mountable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Virtual COM port
One of the most common applications of a network serial device is to use it to make a standard serial device accessible on a network. To do this, you need to connect a standard serial device to the DB-9 port on the network serial device. Next you need to connect the network serial device to a TCP/IP network using an Ethernet connection, and then install software on a client machine in order to access the network serial device. The software on the client machine communicates with the network serial device and creates (maps) a virtual COM port on your computer system. The virtual COM port is identical to a physical COM port and can be used in the same way.
Serial IP extender
You can use two network serial devices to extend a serial connection over a TCP/IP network. To do this, you need to configure one serial device as a client and the other as a server. The client and server are configured to transmit and receive data to their respective IP addresses and TCP ports. The serial settings must match for all connected serial devices, including the UART on both units. Depending on the serial device that you are using, you can use the provided software or the web interface to set the configurations.
UDP to serial adapter
You can use a network serial device to translate UDP data to a standard serial connection. The serial device is configured to listen for UDP traffic from specific IP addresses and ports, and will asynchronously transmit the data out of the serial port on the device. To do this, you need to configure UART on the network serial device to match the specifications of the serial receiver.
