ser2net service
The ser2net service allows establishing TCP sessions with serial ports. It also allows sharing the same serial port between several TCP connections.
A very interesting utility for internet access to ARS-USB, RemoteBox, etc. or be able to have several applications accessing the same device at the same time (e.g. ARS-USB)

UDEV service
Udev identifies devices by serial numbers, manufacturers, and even vendor and product identification numbers and can assign a well-known name to that device. For example, all EA4TX devices use the same Vid & Pid but use a different serial number. This allows them to be identified through the Udev service by associating a name with each device, then it can be used with that name instead of the generic /dev/ttyACM0, /dev/ttyACM1, and so on.
When, for example, you have several ARS-USBs on the same computer (Rock, or RsPi), it is better for one to be called ARS01 and the other ARS02 than to have a randomly assigned name like ttyACM0 and ttyACM1 because you need to have the device permanently identified. each

remoteRotator
remoteRotator is an open source program for multiple platforms (in this tutorial we will use a Raspberry Pi or Rock type minicomputer) developed by Tobi DH1TW that provides a WEB interface to the control of the ARS. Since October 2023, the connection between this program and the ARS-USB can be TCP/IP type and this is the option that I suggest using. On the one hand, the ser2net service will be installed and when access to the defined port (e.g. 6001) is operational, continue with the installation explained below.
