If I understood correctly your needs I solved 232->Eth conversion between my Node Red "Acom 600s web console" and the PA via its rs232 port by using an external (cheap) box (). It's really useful and easy to implement by its administration web page. From node red I drive it via a TCP in TCP Out nodes and the module cares of converting into rs232 buffering and so on, absolutely transparent. Unique limitation is that it handles only rs232 Rx-Tx lines (so no control lines). Power it On and nothing else is required.
