Serial tunnelling is a feature of Brainboxes Ethernet to Serial range of products allowing two devices to create a serial tunnel which extends the serial link over an Ethernet connection. When serial data is sent, it is converted to Ethernet packets by one Ethernet to Serial device, and then transmitted over the network, then unpacked and converted back to serial data by the other Ethernet to Serial device.
This FAQ explores the options of finding ES/ED devices on a network to be able to code for them.
Boost.LAN Manager application is the graphical user interface for locating and configuring all Brainboxes Ethernet to Serial devices in Windows. Boost.LAN is the COM ports device driver that you will use in Windows to access your ES serial ports. You will need Boost.LAN Manager to install the Boost.LAN COM ports driver.
There are many different ways you can set up your ES and ED devices in your network.
