Enable serial-based applications to communicate over a network connection through a virtual serial port on your PC, eliminating the need for a DB9 interface. Virtual COM Port software is available free of charge to owners of genuine NetBurner devices.
If you purchased a NetBurner device through our website, you may login and download the Virtual COM Port software driver directly with your NetBurner.com store account. If you own a NetBurner device but don’t have purchase information, feel free to contact Sales ([email protected]).
NetBurner VCOM capabilities allow you to:

For a full list of Serial to Ethernet (S2E) hardware please check out our Serial to Ethernet product comparison table. Device configuration options for a specific module can be found on each particular device’s product page. Our amazingly versatile Ethernet System-on-Modules also support VCOM but with just a touch more setup than the S2E products. Check out our Ethernet System-on-Modules comparison table for more information. Our NANO54415 is both an S2E and Core Module and is also recommended, above, for VCOM applications.
Our “How to create a virtual COM port” article provides more details on the virtual COM port driver and utilities. It includes a tutorial on set up, a link to the driver, and an example tutorial on how to run legacy COM port-dependent software applications with only a USB port and Ethernet port at your disposal.
