Abstract
The serial device management system is a new and innovative method of aiding the deployment and troubleshooting of POS terminals serially connected to IP enabled devices. Various messages and other data may be sent through a pipe from the IP enabled device to a serially connected POS terminal. This will allow the POS terminal to behave as if it has a direct IP connection.
