Detailed Question: 
I need a device that will allow me to access a serial device over the Internet using a web browser. The HTTP port on the device however must be configurable as I already have a web server on port 80. I will need to configure my router to port-forward on a different port to access the serial device. Can this be done on this device?

The Netport Adaptor has an in-built web server so the device can be viewed over the Internet. The HTTP port on the Netport is also configurable. Once you have set a different port on the router, you can change the http port no. via the web interface. To do this with the Netport you should open Web Manager, Click on 'Server' and Change the "HTTP Port No' option and set the right port. This option allows the configuration of the web server port number. The valid range is 1-65535 (The default port is 80).
