Tiny Serial-to-Ethernet Device Server

1. Introduction

The tDS-700/DS-2200 is a series of Serial-to-Ethernet device servers
that are designed to add Ethernet and Internet connectivity to any
RS-232 and RS-422/485 device, and to eliminate the cable length
limitation of legacy serial communications. By using the VxComm
Driver/Utility, the built-in COM Port of the tDS-700/DS-2200 series
can be virtualized to a standard PC COM Port in Windows.
Therefore, users can transparently access or monitor serial devices
over the Internet/Ethernet without the need for software modification.
tDS-700/DS-2200 device servers can be used to create a pair-connection application (as well as
serial-bridge or serial-tunnel), and then route data between two serial devices via TCP/IP. This is
useful when connecting mainframe computers, servers or other serial devices that do not
themselves have Ethernet capability. By virtue of its protocol independence and flexibility, the
tDS-700/DS-2200 meets the demands of virtually any network-enabled application.
