USB to RS232/4 Communication over Ethernet

Solved!
Go to solution

Hello,

 

I am attempting to use a USB to RS232/4 device.  My application involves using this device remotely (>100m) and, ideally, with an Ethernet connection.  I have attempted to use a USB to Ethernet adapter to communicate with this device to no avail (communication using USB is fine).  

 

Has anyone been successful in communicating with a USB to RS232/4 device over Ethernet and could you share how you were able to do it?  I realize this may not be possible.  

 

Thank you for your help,

 

Dan

I think you will be better off just getting an Ethernet to RS-232 adapter, such as this one: NETRS42348PD
