Questions & Answers

Would this be using DHCP to get itself an IP when it connects to the network for the first time?

The default IP address of NETRS2321P is Initially, an IP address of 1 is assigned to the device, and we recommend connecting a computer directly to it over Ethernet to change it to one that matches StarTech. Matt, the Managing Partner. The Support section of the site

Is this compatible with UPs so that I can connect it to my synology server? How come the UPS does not offer a USB port but RS232 instead?

You should be able to use it. Virtual serial ports appear as legitimate physical serial ports on your PC even though they actually are virtual. By using your PC as the UPS serial port, you would be able to connect remotely with your PC via your network if you were able to connect locally. Using protocols such as Modbus/RTU have also been a great asset to me. A UPS serial port typically operates as an ASCII terminal port. Validating a proof is worth using the modules since they are inexpensive Consider how to apply the concept within

Does this device have the capability to work over the internet or through the cloud? Would you be able to connect to one that sends data over an RS232 interface at 19,200/8n1 from a remote location?

Scales work great and we use them for our business. As long as you have a weather station, there should be no problem. You have a lot of options for configuring what you have. The East interface is the best.

When it fails to connect to the CNC mill, where can I look for the problem?

Make sure you are able to connect serially to it using a terminal program. You can then use wire shark to examine packets on the TCP/IP protocol

A lot of work has been done, the software is somewhat junky, but it Although I was initially hesitant and frustrated, I have to admit, this thing is doing almost exactly what it was designed The system has been running without hiccups for the past week It does have a reserved DHCP address in the router, which I always think is a good idea when dealing with such When IP addresses change, they tend to get confused, and StarTech's support chat recommended not to use DHCP during that period, but that is They do try to provide support over chat, but it appears to be lacking
5/5

In addition, as others have said, the software is a total waste of time. I can only imagine it looks like the worst sort of amateur Windows garbage from the The program is also buggy and overly complicated, and appears to lose mapping information from the virtual COM port each time the memory is removed. You're right, it's true It also randomly advises that it should be run as an administrator every time. You have to reconfigure this thing every time. This did not work for me. Oddly, it seems that the autodetect doesn't pick up any inputs It is the start setting in the first menu that sets this order in motion. It is currently stuck with an alert box that cannot be opened, but is not affecting the COM port. In regards to the COM port, it has been working flawlessly under Windows 10 so far, and it hasn't crashed yet. The next step will be to see how it goes, but so far 5 stars. Update

For three months, it ran like a champ. Once that was done, it was finally time to update Windows 10 and restart - a task I was not looking forward to due to the incredibly bad interface. When I opened the application after the machine rebooted, it showed no devices. (Of course, there is nothing mapped to COM ports either). However, this is not always the case. The alphanumeric sign was updating when I glanced at it. This is amazing! We will deal with why after we restart. Closed the crappy UI so we don't have to think about it right now. Hopefully it also set itself up as a service, but it's hard to tell from all of the strange error messages I received when trying that. However, despite the -, this is still a five-star hotel There are 1000 stars in the.

There is much more to be done
4/5

If you want to figure things out on your own, you'd better be good at it. I found the documentation to be of minimal help. As far as my telescope mount was concerned, I could never get it to work with a TCP device. I have a sketchy half-dozen The telescope mount did not work properly since mixed up messages and several comm errors were reported from the device. I switched to UDP and it instantly worked. have been using static IP addresses for all my web activities.

Cloud-based tools do not work
3/5

They only work over a local network. The devices work properly on a LAN where the send/receive devices are within the same subnetwork. There's no way they'll work over the Internet or WAN. I would like to share with you the customer service response to It is not possible to use NETRS2321P within a web connection due to limitations. In contrast to other Serial over IP devices, the NETRS2321P is intended for use within a local network only.

It's a great piece of hardware, but the software is mediocre
4/5

I have been able to connect these to my CNC metal punching equipment seamlessly. In the shop, it's always nice to have at least one reliable piece of hardware. Although I found it to be true that the "VCOM" software needs administrator access on the computer in order to map this device as a COM port, and it will need to do it each time the computer is logged in. The driver also seems to start malfunctioning if the computer is not restarted after a few weeks.

Bringing LiteTouch to the SmartHome is a breeze
5/5

My LiteTouch system needed to be connected to my network via Home Assistant so I could access it. I was able to save myself the cost of a $70K Lutron upgrade by installing this system instead.

This model supports baud rates up to 460kbps, but does not operate with a 10M transmission rate. This device can communicate at a maximum baud rate of 230 kbps.
