Abstract
Techniques and systems for providing a virtual serial cable are provided. A network server, a method, and a computer-program product may be provided. A network server may receive a serial communication from a first serially-connected device in a first location, wherein the first serially-connected device is assigned a first universally unique identifier (UUID), and wherein the serial communication includes a second (UUID) assigned to a second serially-connected device in a second location. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium may contain instructions, when executed, cause one or more processors to obtain the (UUID), determine that the second (UUID) is assigned to the second serially-connected device, and create a virtual serial connection between the first and second serially-connected devices. The network server may transmit the serial communication to the second serially-connected device located in the second location. The serial communication causes the second serially-connected device to perform an operation.
