Background

A Serial to Ethernet device allows a PC connected to an Ethernet the ability to communicate with a remote serial device (connected to a LAN or WAN) as if the serial device were attached to the serial port of the local PC.

Utilizing such a device can eliminate the need for a remote PC, which is currently required for downloading many GPS receivers. The devices have been evaluated relative to UNAVCO requirements.
