NotesUsing the Redirector :: Key Features
The Serial/IP Redirector can create up to 4096 virtual COM ports, from COM1 to COM4096.
A virtual COM port becomes active when an application on the local computer opens it. The redirector handles each active virtual COM port with a separate TCP connection to the server.
Additionally, the redirector processes each virtual COM port in its own thread. These threads run in parallel on hyperthreaded and multiprocessor computers.
The practical limit on active virtual COM ports for any given machine will depend on its RAM, processor speed, network performance, and other factors.
NotesMore than one Tactical Software redirector product can be installed on a computer, each using separate COM ports.
The license key used by the redirector sets an upper limit on the number of virtual COM ports that are active (open).
Some older applications are able to use COM ports only in the range of COM1 to COM4, and this limitation will apply to virtual COM ports as well.
