Now, several applications can open shared COM port and work with it simultaneously.

This feature is just like split feature, however additional virtual COM ports are not created here.

Sometimes different applications can open COM ports with different settings (e.g. bits per second or data bits). It can lead to incorrect working of the whole system. In such cases you can use fixed settings of COM port.
