Bridge RS232 serial devices to modern IP networks with the Global Caché IP2SL. This compact converter sits in your equipment rack and turns a legacy serial port into an IP-enabled control point accessible over your wired network, enabling seamless integration with today’s smart control workflows.

What it does

The IP2SL exposes a single DB9 serial port to Ethernet, allowing you to remotely monitor and automate compatible gear. It supports a wide range of speeds from 1200 baud up to 115.2 Kbaud, making it suitable for many older and newer serial devices alike. By bridging RS232 control to TCP/IP, it unlocks network-based control without replacing your existing equipment.

Key benefits

  • Turns RS232 serial devices into IP-enabled control points on your network.
  • Remotely monitor and automate devices such as speakers and displays via Ethernet.
  • Fast and reliable connections through a DB9 port supporting diverse speeds up to 115.2 Kbaud.
  • Simplified setup with an onboard web server, plus standard support for HTTP, DHCP, and TCP.
  • Easy integration with PC, Android, and iOS control apps through a published API for driver development.

Setup and integration

  • Onboard web interface enables network discovery and configuration without extra software.
  • Download the iHelp Software for guided setup and quick deployment.
  • Published API lets developers build drivers and connect with third-party control systems.

Real-world scenarios span home theaters, conference rooms, and distributed AV systems, where reliable networked control adds convenience without replacing core devices. The IP2SL serves as a flexible bridge, accommodating a range of control workflows while keeping installation straightforward and non-disruptive.

In practice, this means you can integrate legacy serial-controlled gear into modern automation, enabling centralized control, remote scripting, and smarter room setups. The combination of a straightforward setup, broad speed support, and an accessible API makes the IP2SL a practical choice for adapting existing gear to network-based control ecosystems.
