Software supports creation of Virtual COM ports.
Press Release Summary:
TCP-Com v2.0 exposes RS232 serial port on PC to TCP/IP port so that RS232 serial data can be sent and received across TCP/IP network. It can also create Virtual COM Ports that are actually TCP/IP port connections, meaning that any software designed to communicate with RS232 ports can communicate over Ethernet or Internet TCP/IP ports. Software also offers error recovery features that automatically detect and repair broken TCP/IP connections.Original Press Release:
TCP-Com v2.0 - RS232 to TCP/IP Software - Now With Support for Creating Virtual COM Ports!
TALtech's TCP-Com software was originally designed to expose a RS232 serial port on a PC to a TCP/IP port so that RS232 serial data can be sent and received across a TCP/IP network.
TCP-Com Version 2.0 has been upgraded with powerful new features including the ability to create "Virtual COM Ports" that are actually TCP/IP port connections. This means that any software designed to communicate with RS232 ports can now communicate over Ethernet or Internet TCP/IP ports. TCP-Com also now has advanced error recovery features that can automatically detect and repair broken TCP/IP connections.
The ability to create virtual COM ports allows TCP-Com to be used for a number of advanced applications that were not possible before.
Now TCP-Com can be used to:
1. Turn a PC into a multi port serial device server (or Terminal Server).
2. Send or receive data over a TCP/IP port with any existing serial communications program.
3. Open COM ports located on another computer in your network as if they were locally installed COM ports.
4. Use your network or the Internet as a giant serial cable.
5. Use TCP-Com to feed data from one physical RS232 port to multiple RS232 serial communications programs.
6. Use TCP-Com to map a TCP/IP port to a different TCP/IP port.
