Overview

Serial Port Redirector creates virtual serial ports and makes serial data from serial ports available on a TCP/IP network.

Overview

Serial Port Redirector creates virtual serial ports and redirects all serial data to specified TCP-port of remote IP-address. Any serial communications software can use these virtual COM ports, like typical hardware COM ports to send and receive serial data over a local network or the Internet.

Serial Port Redirector can be used to pass serial data across a local network or over the Internet using the Telnet protocol (with the COM Port Control protocol specified by RFC 2217) and the raw TCP connection protocol as well. The COM Port Control protocol (RFC 2217) is used also for accessing any serial device attached to a serial device server.

OEM License Benefits

Serial Port Redirector functionality can be easily integrated into your application. So you can create and configure virtual serial ports from your application directly.
