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 provided free with your NetBurner device purchase.
NetBurner VCOM capabilities allow you to:
The following products are some of our most popular Serial-to-Ethernet (S2E) devices and are VCOM-ready straight out of the box! The table below is a partial list of features and capabilities. Click on each product link to get more detail. Alternatively, check out our prototype-friendly Development Kits for each platform.

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.
