Hello networking.
I have some equipment that's only practical output is USB (other being IEEE-488), however its the kind that uses the USB interface but masquerades as a serial RS-232 port. The rest of the equipment is all talking via ethernet and would simplify things greatly if we could get these pieces onto the network. A simple USB/ethernet adapter does not work, since they're looking for a regular USB signal not something like RS-232.
I've looked at the digikey items (https://www.digi.com/products/networking/infrastructure-management/usb-connectivity/usb-over-ip/anywhereusb#overview) and some of the offerings by star tech. The digikey are nice, but expensive, and I'm not sure if the cheaper startech offerings can send that USB/RS-232 signal.
If anyone has any suggestions, or if they know of a cheaper alternative, please let me know! Thank you.
