Network Serial Ports
Serial to TCP/IP Redirector
Network Serial Ports is a client-server application that redirects serial data and signals over a TCP/IP networks. It allows communication with serial equipment connected to a remote host by creating network-based virtual Com ports on the local side.
The product fully supports the RFC2217 protocol (Telnet COM Port Control Option), so in addition to connecting with remote PCs, you can also easily connect with remote Serial Device Servers.
Our product is an effective way to overcome limitations of RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 protocols and links that require a point-to-point cable connection and impose limitations on the length of that cable. No more limitations! Just use the Network Serial Ports.
Network Serial Ports support standard and non-standard bit rates, data bits, stop bits, parity bits, emulate signal lines (DTR, DCD, DSR, CTS, RTS, and RI), support software XON/XOFF, hardware and custom flow control. Our virtualization technology supports all types of ports, including PnP and legacy RS232/422/485 serial ports, USB serial ports created by various USB-to-Serial converters and adapter cables. Software-based virtual Com ports and hardware ports on Serial Device Servers are also supported. The product comes with a rich developer API that provides easy integration with your solutions.
It provides you with clear and intuitive user interface, detailed documentation and requires no programming skills to start using it. Download Network Serial Ports now and start interfacing serial devices to a network in seconds!
Serial Port Redirector Features
Allows interfacing of serial devices to a network
Our "Serial over Ethernet" redirection tool allows interfacing of any serial device to a local area network or Internet. You can use it if you need to access remote serial ports or devices over a network connection. This Com to Tcp/Ip software supports legacy and Plug & Play UART/USB-serial/RS-232/RS-422/RS-485 devices.
Supports Telnet Com Port Control Option: RFC2217
Product fully supports RFC2217 (Telnet Com Port Control Option) for serial-to-network transmission. It uses Telnet-based serial connection betwen virtual serial port driver on a local side and COM port server on a remote host, allowing any serial application to transmit data and signals to the remote devices over the network interface.
Allows turning a computer into a Serial Device Server
Network serial ports is a cost-effective, software-based solution that allows you to turn any computer into a Serial Device Server. The server part of our application converts transmissions of serial devices and equipment connected to the computer running the application into Ethernet compatible signals.
Makes serial devices IoT and cloud ready
Since our product supports all possible serial devices, including legacy ones, it can be used to get remote access to any of them, even over the Internet. So you may use it as a basis for your IoT and cloud-based solutions. In contrast to hardware competitors, it doesn't limit the number of devices that can be connected.
Full hardware serial ports emulation
Virtual copies of remote hardware Com ports created on the local host fully emulate all the features of physical serial ports. Virtual serial interface supports all serial port options including handshaking signals, baud rate, parity bits, data bits, stop bits and flow control.
User mode-application, exceptional system stability
Network Serial Ports is build upon a versatile high-performance virtual serial port driver. It operates exclusively in user-mode, raising the system stability, security and performance. All virtual COM ports work in user mode space. Using our product, you will never get a BSOD!
Easy integration: developer API, scripting
Rich Application Programming Interface allows controlling the application within the code or script of your project. All kinds of virtual serial devices and their configurations can be controlled from various programming languages, including C++, C# or JavaScript/TypeScript.
Automatic ports and connections recovery
The program allows you to create permanent serial ports and communication links. Their settings are securely stored. Utility is compatible with Windows Power Management, the settings of each item are automatically restored after shutdown, reboot or hibernation.
Overriding COM parameters for TCP server
You can set default virtual COM port parameters for every port shared by TCP server. User-defined configuration will be applied if the opening application does not configure serial ports.
Custom TCP buffer size configuration
Buffer size for both TCP virtual serial ports and TCP Server may be configured. Customizing the buffer size provides a reliable way to communicate with serial devices at much higher transfer rates.
Changing COM port names
The software provides the flexibility to change serial port names. You can modify virtual COM port numbers during creation. Customized device names will appear, for example, in Windows Device Manager.
User interface with multi-language support
The software’s user interface accommodates multiple languages, seamlessly handling localization. Language tools are accessible to all users, empowering them to edit or create their own language packs.
