The Serial COM Port Redirector creates a virtual COM port on a PC for applications to use networked serial servers. The application software should be able to use the virtual COM port to connect to a remote device as if it were directly connected to the PC. The software is compatible with a wide range of TCP/IP-based serial servers and the Serial/IP Redirector supports advanced protocols and offers highly configurable virtual COM ports.
The COM Port Redirector can be used in conjunction with SSE232 converters to provide a means to transfer data from an RS232, RS422 or RS485 serial port via a TCP/IP data packet to a remote PC over the Internet. The software will create a virtual COM port on the remote PC that connects directly to the required SSE232 converter and on to the RS232. RS422 or RS485 device on site. This will create a transparent serial connection that allows you to use the standard device software on the remote PC to control your device.
This software is compatible with a wide range of TCP/IP based serial servers and supports advanced protocols as well as highly configurable virtual COM ports.
