IPCOMServer 是一種廉價且簡單的解決方案，無需使用昂貴的路由器產品（如 Cisco 2511 終端伺服器）即可控制 RS-232 設備。IPCOMServer 充當 Telnet 伺服器，將使用者直接連接到所選的 COM 連接埠。IPCOMServer 可以通過使用 Telnet 程式或自訂寫入的 Telnet 客戶端進行連接。Telnet 程式將為使用者提供一個文字介面，以詢問所連接的 RS-232 設備。開發 IPCOMServer 的原因是為了使用戶能夠控制客製化的電子設備，或存取遠端控制測試設備，如 TTC Fireberd 4000 或協定分析儀等。 IPCOMServer 充當 TCP/IP 連接埠或套接字與個人電腦串行/COM 埠之間的虛擬連接。當 Telnet 程式或用戶端連接到 IPCOMServer 時，它將直接連接到 IPCOMServer 設定中指定的串列埠。用戶端生成的數據或命令字串將通過 TCP/IP 網路傳輸至主機。在主機上，傳入命令中繼到串行埠。連接到主機的設備將回應命令，將回覆發送回主機，然後將回應回用戶端。答覆可用於顯示文本表單或更新圖形使用者介面 （GUI）。有關詳細資訊，請參閱應用程式說明。

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.
