What are the advantages of using serial server networking?

With the development of new technologies, it has become convenient and cheap to connect any number or type of serial devices to the Ethernet. People use the Ethernet serial server to establish connections, manage communications, and transmit data around the world. So, what are the advantages of remote operation of serial server networking?

In long-distance engineering projects or production sites, because all kinds of equipment mainly use serial connections, and serial connections are limited in distance and networking, this poses a rather complex challenge. Because everyone knows that the RS232 serial cable can generally only transmit about 20m, and it is not conducive to wiring in some on-site locations, which brings another problem to the engineering staff.

The main advantages of using a serial server are:
1. Upgrade access-remotely connect serial devices;
2. Cost saving-no need to change the existing software to communicate with serial devices;
3. Seamless communication-The connection from serial port to Ethernet is transparent to the device and software;
4. Make full use of existing equipment-start the COM port with Ethernet;
5. Protect the functional original network-connect the serial network into one or more subnets of the local area network;
6. Save manpower-can remotely access serial devices;
7. Save time-through the Ethernet can update the serial device software faster and easier.
