5. DeviceComm Manager
Lantronix DeviceComm Manager is a Windows based COM port redirector software utility. Its function is to redirect customer application data destined for a local serial (COM) port to the PC’s network port. Rather than going out the local serial port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network port using the TCP/IP protocol.
A Device Server attached to the network receives the data and presents it on its serial port. Conversely, data into the serial port of the Device Server is sent back over the network to the DeviceComm Manager. The DeviceComm Manager then presents the data to the customer application as if it were from a local serial COM port.
