What Serial to Ethernet Connector’s сustomers say
Reliable Sensor Data Sharing for an Arctic Underwater Observatory
Serial to Ethernet Connector helps us bridge sensor data between separate virtual machines without changing our established hardware setup. In our Arctic observatory environment, this is an efficient and practical solution for integrating optical and hydrographic measurements in one monitoring workflow
Works as described
Serial to Ethernet Connector has been a perfect solution for connecting our serial devices over the network. We use several serial-based devices for manufacturing and testing, and this software makes it so much easier to manage them remotely. Setting it up was a breeze, and the software works exactly as described. The only small issue I encountered was with port mapping, but once I figured out the configuration, everything worked smoothly. This product has saved us time and money, and I’ll definitely continue using it.
Perfect for (old) software and games using serial ports
Self, I don’t have any serial ports on my computer and that is sometimes a bit tricky. As I saw another review here, Serial to Ethernet Connector is absolutely perfect for games from the early 2000’s that make use of serial ports for LAN multiplayer. And thanks to this software I’m able to relive my youth with my friends. But it doesn’t stop there, also laying a connection between a Raspberry Pi with a thermometer hooked up to its pins to monitor the temperature there over the internet.
When I installed the software it was a bit tricky to set up, but when I got the hang of it and understood the concept it went more than fluently.
Overall, perfect for legacy to modern connections and interface is very intuitively based and therefore easy to route trough.

Excellent Option for communication
An excellent option for communication between Ethernet-enabled devices and legacy software that only handles serial ports. It’s easy and simple, and above all, 100% compatible with Windows Server.
Good for gaming, too!
A little outside the use case of most of the reviewers, I found Serial to Ethernet Connector while working on a personal project to set up older Windows XP-era games in multiplayer. We have one system on original hardware and multiple VMs on more recent hardware (read: lacking physical serial ports). With some games need a serial connection for multiplayer and the systems are already networked together, this was the perfect solution. I found it intuitive to use and it worked exactly as I needed out of the box. Legacy support for down to Windows XP is perfect in this case and the free licenses for non-commercial use is much appreciated!
