Pleased
By D. Smith
I tried this unit out after using several StarTech NETRS2321E 1 Port RS-232/422/485 Serial over IP Ethernet Device Server. The NETRS2321E works fine, but after reading on StarTech's website, I realized this one has several extra features such as: 1. Lifetime warranty (compared to two years for NETRS2321E) 2. Upgradable firmware 3. Ether Link Manager software (which is great!)I will definitely be switching to this unit as our primary Serial to IP servers. They have worked flawless in the field for several months with no hangups or need for reboots.As a bonus, you can use this device on your laptop/desktop as a DB9 COMM if you PC doesn't have one or if you need to add another COMM. Just install the Ether Link Manager software, connect the device via CAT5 cable to your PC and activate the device as your COMM port via the Ether Link Manager.The drivers from the StarTech website worked fine on my Windows 7 x64 bit laptop (didn't try the ones on the CD).

It's OK, but lacks an access password
By rjd444
When I told Star Tech I couldn't use the NETRS232E1 model because it didn't have an access password, they recommended this one instead. So this one has a 'user' password that allows users to configure the serial port but not the whole box. But it DOESN'T have an access password.I purchased this one used from simparts, and the unit is basically in new condition. It didn't come with the driver CD, but I was able to download it from the Star Tech web site.
