IPCOMServer 是一种廉价且简单的解决方案，无需使用昂贵的路由器产品（如 Cisco 2511 终端服务器）即可控制 RS-232 设备。IPCOMServer 充当 Telnet 服务器，将用户直接连接到所选的 COM 端口。IPCOMServer 可以通过使用 Telnet 程序或自定义写入的 Telnet 客户端进行连接。Telnet 程序将为用户提供一个文本接口，以询问所连接的 RS-232 设备。开发 IPCOMServer 的原因是为了使用户能够控制定制的电子设备，或访问远程控制测试设备，如 TTC Fireberd 4000 或协议分析仪等。 IPCOMServer 充当 TCP/IP 端口或套接字与个人计算机串行/COM 端口之间的虚拟连接。当 Telnet 程序或客户端连接到 IPCOMServer 时，它将直接连接到 IPCOMServer 设置中指定的串行端口。客户端生成的数据或命令字符串将通过 TCP/IP 网络传输至主机。在主机上，传入命令中继到串行端口。连接到主机的设备将响应命令，将回复发送回主机，然后将响应回客户端。答复可用于显示文本表单或更新图形用户界面 （GUI）。有关详细信息，请参阅应用程序说明。

In the past IPCOMServer was brought to you by ioX Solutions as Freeware. Since the recent closure of ioX Solutions, the source for IPCOMServer was taken over by TIGME.COM for further development. To continue using this product you will have to register your copy of the product at the TIGME.COM website. The shareware version of this product will terminate any telnet sessions after 360 minutes of use and exit the program. The commercial version entitles the user to install the software on one machine. You may execute as many instances of the software on one machine as you wish. Should you require the need to use IPCOMServer on more than one machine you must purchase an additional license for every extra host machine on your network. Every additional license still permit you to run multiple sessions of the software on one machine. Multiple sessions are used when more than one communications port must be accessed at the same time on one machine. TIGME.COM will not accept any responsibility for damage to any of the end users hardware like modems attached to a telephone wire while there is lightning strikes, to name but an example.
