NetPort Ethernet to RS232 Cable Adapter
SKU: AMC-232LAN01-DVKV1.4
Price: £95.50 excl. VAT (£112.21 incl. VAT)
Associated Links:
The NetPort Ethernet to RS232 Cable Adapter is a ‘plug-and-play’ Serial to Ethernet cable adaptor that will allow any device or machine with a serial port, such as network routers, meter readers, fire and security or monitoring systems, industrial control or legacy systems to become network and Internet enabled in an instant.
NetPort is the most cost-effective Serial-to-Ethernet Cable Adapter, and can be integrated into a system with minimal effort and used worldwide.
Remote Monitoring
NetPort can also give you the ability to access and monitor serial devices and systems from remote offices simply by typing in the IP Address.
How Netport Works
The external NetPort adapter features an integrated web-server allowing any device to which it is attached to be 'contacted' and monitored via a standard Internet browser. TCP/IP protocol stacks are embedded into the NetPort, enabling it to operate within non-PC environments and the adapter features a Modem Emulation Mode allowing it to behave like a modem but communicate over TCP/IP.
Virtual Comm Port drivers are provided to allow a NetPort-connected device to communicate with existing software over TCP/IP (for Windows operating systems). Alternatively, ‘direct socket’ connection can be used.
The NetPort adapter has an in-built web server , allowing any device to which it is attached to be ‘contacted’ and monitored via an internet browser.

Q: I need to connect a phone switch to a PC using serial but need to do this over an ethernet connection
It depends on the connectors on the devices you have. Netport LAN01 is the DTE version, LAN02 is the DCE version. Both devices are functionally identical but the one is Male-Female (DCE) and the other Female-Male (DTE).

Q: I want to connect my program which using serial port to control through internet my plc.
Yes. The Netport connects serial devices to ethernet networks, allowing you to send serial data across the network, using a technique known as serial tunnelling.
The netport can be used in two modes.
- Single Netport mode: the Netport is connected to the PLC. A virtual serial port is installed onto a PC. Software on the PC can then talk to the remote serial device over the network. Whilst theoretically the PLC and the PC can be any distance apart, in practice the distance may introduce some latency into the system. That may be a problem if timings in the communication between the software and PLC are important
- Two Netport mode: the second mode uses two Netports. One Netport is connected to the PLC and it then talks to the second Netport over the network. The second Netport can then be plugged into another device or PC using a serial cable.

Q: I need to connect a serial port on a printer to a Unix box - will the Netport help?
Yes this should be possible, but you may need to use 2 Netport adaptors instead of one. The use of a single Netport requires the installation of a software based virtual serial port. The driver software supplied with the Netport that implements the virtual serial port will only work on Microsoft Windows.
