I've abused the web and email servers in an AnyBus-S card to get much better turnaround on a continuous data stream, but that requires significant custom software at the PC to make use of the data. It is possible to get better performance for specific applications. I have put several of these things in service over the years and in the end I've taken every one of them out.
The problem with this is that if a packet gets lost, the TCP/IP timeouts are horrendous - it can take many seconds for the channel to unfreeze.

All most of these devices do is open a raw socket, which is supposedly a 'virtual serial port', and all the software driver does is map the OS serial API to the TCP/IP API so attempts to use the serial port get routed to the raw socket.

(as a side note, I see there are plenty of USB to serial port devices for Mac, I'd imagine a ethernet to serial device would use some similar OS mechanisms, but perhaps there just hasn't been enough of a need for Mac based ethernet to serial devices.)Įthernet to serial doesn't work very well. I figured the gurus on the forum could shed light on this and educate me. I'm guessing it might have something to do with the way the operating system is or how it handles I/O such as serial ports or maybe it is because there isn't enough demand. Plenty of devices/drivers for Windows and Linux, but I don't see references to Mac. Recently I've been doing some research into devices to see what the latest devices are on the market and wondering why there isn't such a device for Apple/Mac based computers. Then any software that uses a serial port on the PC can access and control the device just as it was connected to the serial port. One is a physical ethernet device itself which also has one or more serial ports and the other part of the product is software that runs on the PC and makes this ethernet device appear as a serial port to the PC. There are usually two parts to the product. There are several products out there, some of the better known ones include products from Digi. I've used these in many industrial applications and even a few home applications when doing data collection. These devices have been primarily for Windows/PCs. I suspect this was the first item I encountered because I was in a group of primarily windows software developers dealing with scanners for bar codes. One of the first industrial automation devices I learned about many years ago was ethernet to serial devices. There used to be a sandbox thread, but this appears to be it now. Other features include full ANSI/VT100 terminal emulation, break-sequence support (for Cisco, etc), a line-buffered or immediate send mode, and much more.Boy - I haven't been to the forums in a while. So, if you can't find an OS X driver for yourĪdapter (eg, Belkin), give Serial a try - available from the Mac App Store. Serial Serial is a great Terminal Emulation Program with built-in driver support for most common USB to serial devices. Or, ctrl-click/right-click on the app and select Open from the pop-up menu so not to permanently lower your security settings. If you have trouble installing any of the following (or any other program) with an unidentified developer error, goto: System Preferences ➤ Secrity & Privacy ➤ General and click on Allow Applications Downloaded from: Anywhere and try again. If you can't find a driver for your adapter (eg, Belkin), try Serial which has built-in support for most (if not all) USB-Serial adapters. If you're looking for a command line app, there's Screen (built-in) or Minicom.

The following Mac OS X GUI applications are available:

Having installed the right driver for our USB-serial adapter, we also need to install some terminal emulation software before we can connect to anything.
