NET101 gives the user two options when it comes to Network connection. The user
may choose to manage and control the various serial devices over Internet using
windows Virtual COM port function (refer to Fig 1). In this configuration, a NET101 is
connected to a serial device. The user can then manage and control each of these
serial devices over LAN.

To extend this further, the user may opt to have a One-on-One configuration (refer to

is configured in Slave mode.
