Overview
| VS NetCom 111 is an industrial-strength network-based serial device server for connecting one RS232 device like CNC, PLC, weighting scale, scanner and other devices directly to the 10/100Mbps Ethernet network running TCP/IP.
In addition to allowing serial devices to get networked, any host (PC Server or Workstation) without network access can also access remote serial device via adding NetCom devices to the existing serial port. NetCom 111 can be configured over Driver Panels, WEB Browser, serial Port, Telnet, SNMP and serves as a transparent serial channel without platform and distance limitation. |

Operating Modes
|
|---|
Driver Mode | VScom Driver for Windows NT 4.0, 2000, 2003, XP, Vista, 7, 8 & 10.
Driver Mode creates virtual Com port. |
TCP Raw Server | Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Accepts multiple incoming connections. |
TCP Raw Client | Raw data transfer over TCP/IP. Connects to multiple hosts or devices waiting for incoming connections. |
TCP Advanced Settings | Special settings for user-defined modes. |
UDP Mode | Raw data transfer by UDP. The NetCom is client and server at the same time. With the timeout functionality and a configurable trigger string it can make defined UDP packets of incoming data. |
Null Modem Tunnel | Connecting two NetCom used as virtual null modem cable. |
IP Modem | The serial port emulates a standard modem. Operates by AT-commands, and dials to IP-Addresses instead of phone numbers.
Windows "INF"-Driver provided for installation. |
