Why Redundant Serial to Ethernet Data Connection
require?
Serial device plays a vital role in Ethernet
networks. The serial to Ethernet connections made
of devices like serial to Ethernet connectors.
The serial to Ethernet connections plays a
crucial role in modern networks. Industrial
operations like process Automation, power, and
utility, security, and surveillance,
transportation, etc. are a few industries that
depends on serial to Ethernet connections. The
failure of serial to Ethernet connections results
in major losses, accidents and security issues.
It is necessary to have an Ethernet network with
reliable redundancy. Transferring transmission
from serial devices to the Ethernet network helps
in reaping all the benefits of Ethernet protocol.
However, since Ethernet networks consist of
multiple devices, links and loops, the chances of
failure must be reduced. That is why the
redundancy of such networks is essential to be
maintained.

Serial to Port Ethernet Connection
Serial to Ethernet technology allows connection
over Transmission Control Protocol or Internet
Protocol (IP) network. Serial to Ethernet
connection converters data packets into serial
data signals and vice versa. The converter
receives the serial data signals and converters
and forwards them to the Ethernet-compliant
devices in the form of data packets over TCP/IP.
In this way, serial communication is converted to
Ethernet communication. The main reason to
adopt serial to Ethernet Data conversion is to
reduce number of ports. The serial device
requires a port per transmission stream. On the
other hand, Ethernet permits the transmission of
multi-stream signal over a single port by using
serial to Ethernet converters. Implementation
of serial to Ethernet technology to the existing
Ethernet connections is not that complex. It
benefits to enhance the performance and
efficiency of the ethernet network. It helps to
transmit data globally over LAN, WLAN, and global
internet-based network.

Serial to Ethernet Connection Redundancy
Ethernet networks typically have multiple
transmission links. From the host servers to the
Ethernet switches and further to the receiving
equipment, multiple transmission links are
connected in the form of topology. When it comes
to implementing serial to Ethernet connection
into the existing Ethernet network, the
complexity increases with the number of
intermediate serials to Ethernet devices. The
connection has to follow the standards of
topology in order to maintain redundancy. Such
networks are designed and built for a reduction
in the chances of failure. Therefore, the bypass
or mirrored paths of data transmission are
adopted in serial to Ethernet networks. To
achieve the redundancy of a part of serial to
Ethernet networks, the bypass links are kept
ideal until the functioning part of the network
fails. As the functioning links fail, the data is
directed to the bypass link so that the loss of
data is prevented.

Solutions to Maintain Redundancy in Serial to
Ethernet Connections

• Ethernet Switching Solution for LAN Bridge Mode
  The LAN bridge mode features a bypass by
  switching the LAN networks. The LAN bridge mode
  features a bypass by switching the LAN networks.
  In this type of network, the serial devices are
  connected in a LAN network over Ethernet. This
  LAN is bridged with another LAN network. In cases
  of data traffic, failed links, etc., the bridge
  is activated and then the data can be transmitted
  through a second LAN.
• Ethernet Switching Solution for LAN Redundancy
  Mode The Ethernet switching solution is often
  configured in the serial to Ethernet converters
  by using networking software. It uses a backup
  path that is used when data loss is noticed. The
  backup link often goes back to the server or
  looped to the series of devices. This solution is
  adopted to reduce network downtime. It is
  compatible with ITU-G.8032 and IEEE 802.1D/W
  standards. It is used in tree spanning, port
  mirroring features.
• Ethernet Switching Solution for LAN Dual-Subnet
  Mode In this solution, the converter with dual
  LAN ports are utilized. A Dual-redundancy network
  is built using this solution. the first
  redundancy path transmits data packets between
  the host device and network server. Another path
  transmits data between the serial devices over
  Ethernet. the first redundancy path transmits
  data packets between the host device and network
  server. Another path transmits data between the
  serial devices over Ethernet.
