TopicsUsing the Redirector :: Key Features
The Serial/IP COM Port Redirector allows you to create virtual Serial/IP COM ports that provide access to serial devices on a server.
The redirector connects to the server when an application opens the COM port and disconnects from the server when the COM port is closed. One way to understand what the redirector does is to think of it as a "software cable" from the local computer across the local area network to serial devices on the server.
The redirector uses TCP network connections to the server to gain access to its serial devices. Before using the redirector, place the serial device server on your network and configure it to provide its devices on certain TCP port numbers.
As part of installing and configuring the Serial/IP Redirector, you use its control panel to configure each virtual COM port to a IP address and TCP port number that the redirector will use to connect to the server when that virtual COM port is opened. The Serial/IP Control Panel also contains global settings that apply to all Serial/IP COM ports.
The Serial/IP COM ports are available to software applications as conventional COM ports.
