Serial Port Redirector Help
Select virtual serial port and click
button.
Enabling "bitrate emulation", you limit data transmission speed to that one that was specified by communications application (using Baud Rate setting). If "bitrate emulation" is disabled, transmission speed depends on bandwidth of the network connection.
Serial Port Redirector uses Telnet protocol (with the COM Port Control protocol specified by RFC 2217) and Raw data protocol (raw TCP connection) to transfer data.
Note: You can Configure serial port control signals for Raw data protocol. Selected signals will be preset for selected serial port.
As soon as communications application opens virtual serial port, Serial Port Redirector tries to connect to remote computer. There is also a possibility to set up behaviour of Serial Port Redirector regarding network connection.
Reconnect interval: specifies period of time (in seconds) used when connection is lost or connection with remote computer cannot be established. Serial Port Redirector will try to reconnect to remote computer periodically on the expiry of this time.
Cache data when connection is broken option allows to prevent data loss when connection is broken.
Send string on port opening: each time when communications application closes virtual serial port, the specified sequence will be sent to the remote side.
Send string on port closing: each time when communications application opens virtual serial port, the specified sequence will be sent to the remote side.
Extra String's Syntax: \r - CR character, \n - LF character, \d - 1 second delay, \\ - slash character.
There are some communications applications that open COM ports with "hard-coded" port settings (e.g. bits per second or flow control) and there is no standard way to change these settings. If a serial device uses other settings, this may lead to incorrect working of the whole system. In such case you can use fixed COM port settings to override settings used by communications application.
