For Network Serial Port Kit:
===================
 
1) Client - Server solution ( program installs on the both sides on the Windows based computers only).
 
2) Creates null modem connection over network (virtual COM to virtual COM). Applications on the both sides work with serial ports only.
 
3) Maps hardware COM to virtual COM over network.
 
 
For Serial Port Redirector:
==================
 
1) Program installs on Windows based computer and creates virtual COM to communicate with remote IP address and TCP port.
 
2) Can communicate directly with any hardware Serial Port Server supporting RFC-2217 (e.g Digi PortServer).
 
3) Can communicate with any application which listens TCP port for incoming connection and receives serial data in RFC-2217 or Raw data format. This application can be installed on computer with any OS.
