Network Serial Port Kit 5.4.2 is a System Utility product from network-serial-port.com, get 5 Stars SoftSea Rating, Network Serial Port Kit allows you to work with any serial devices connected to remote computers as if they were connected directly to your PC.
This software allows you to connect data collection serial devices -- bar code scanners, modems, sensors, gages, RF equipment, telephone PBX systems, laboratory or industrial instruments -- to the serial ports of your computer. The software creates up to 254 virtual serial ports at a time. Physical COM ports located on remote computer can be connected to a host computer over the network as well.
True emulation of the remote serial port.
The software creates virtual serial port that is the exact copy of the remote shared COM port.
Auto-reconnect if network connection is broken.
Network Serial Port Kit automatically detects if network connection with the remote side is broken. As soon as the connection can be established, the software reconnects to the remote side.
Network latency compensation algorithm.
Some communications applications expect minimal response time from a serial device. Network Serial Port Kit he Network Latency Compensation ability to avoid influence of network delays.
You can easily share and access remote printers and hard disks over network. But there is no standard solution which allows to work with remote serial devices.
GPS-receivers, barcode scanners, modems, sensors, PBX, laboratory equipment are not usually dedicated to be shared over network.
Common Solution
It's good if you are able to unplug serial device from a computer and plug it into another one. But often it's a very difficult task, especially if that device is located in a different building or even in a different city.
FabulaTech Solution
Using Network Serial Port Kit you can share physical serial port with a connected device and then access this device from any other computer over local network or the Internet.
At the same time, virtual serial port is created on the computer from which you want to access the serial device and it's the exact copy of the remote physical serial port with the connected device.
Data is forwarded over the network from the physical serial port to the virtual serial port and vice versa. An software on the local computer works with the serial device via the virtual serial port as if it was plugged into this very local computer.
Virtual Null-Modem Cable over Network
You can easily use Network Serial Port Kit for creating virtual null-modem connections over network. In other words, you can connect two communications applications running on different computers by means of virtual null-modem cable over network.
At that, virtual serial ports are created on both computers and they look like physical serial ports for communications applications. Data written to local virtual serial port are automatically forwarded to remote virtual serial port and vice versa.
