1-Port Serial to Ethernet Adapter

The StarTech I13-SERIAL-ETHERNET connects a single RS232 device to an IP network for remote management. It suits engineers maintaining legacy industrial equipment or building automation systems that require serial-over-IP access. The adapter includes a universal power supply, DIN rail kit and mounting bracket for flexible installation in cabinets or on walls.

Ethernet interface limits

The LAN port provides the only network path for the attached serial device, so bandwidth and latency depend entirely on the local network infrastructure. Configuration and monitoring require a reachable IP address on the same segment or routed subnet. No wireless capability is included, so a wired Ethernet drop must be available at the deployment site.

Single DB9 port capacity

One DB9 male connector handles the RS232 link, supporting one peripheral such as a PLC, meter or console server at a time. The device server manages the translation between serial data and TCP/IP packets for that single session. Environments needing simultaneous connections for multiple serial endpoints will require additional adapters.

Questions about this item

Which version of the StarTech I13-SERIAL-ETHERNET should I choose for a single RS232 device?

This model is a 1-port serial-to-Ethernet adapter, so one unit handles a single RS232 connection over the network.

What does the LAN-to-DB9 conversion mean for my serial equipment?

It lets you connect a DB9 RS232 device to an Ethernet network for remote access and management.

What network interface does the adapter use and what does it limit?

The adapter uses a wired LAN connection; the serial link runs at RS232 signalling rates while the Ethernet side handles the IP transport.
