PortBox2webIn addition, it can be used in attendance systems, security alarms connected to vending machines, RFID readers, barcode scanners, and internet-connected access systems.

PortBox2 is an RS-232 and RS-485 Ethernet converter that offers (unlike other devices on the market) a complete RS-232 serial port (9 conductors).

PortBox2 can be connected to a PC via LAN. If the HW VSP multiport software (included free with PortBox2) is installed on the user's Windows computer, a virtual serial port is created, functioning as if the device were directly connected to the PC. The virtual serial port driver operates in the background (NT service), allowing it to be used in conjunction with the Windows Microsoft server. The HW VSP multiport software supports connecting up to 100 virtual serial ports to a single computer.

PortBox2 supports 9-bit communication and can be configured over the internet. Two PortBox2 units can operate in Box-to-Box mode, extending the serial port without the need for additional software.
