For networked serial devices, Virtual COM ports connect automatically, Remote serial devices appear local, Compatible with 40+ server manufacturers. Use remote serial devices on TCP/IP networks through Serial/IP virtual COM ports that work like local COM ports.

On the client computer running Serial/IP
1. You add virtual COM ports using the Serial/IP Control Panel and configure them to use your serial server.
2. Your application uses Serial/IP virtual COM ports instead of local physical COM ports.
3. Your application opens, reads and writes virtual COM ports using the standard COM port API.
4. The Serial/IP Redirector automatically makes TCP/IP connections to the serial server and relays the virtual COM port data stream and control actions.

At the remote location
1. The serial server accepts connections from Serial/IP, then converts and relays the data stream and control signals to the server's serial ports.
2. Wireless modems can be used instead of serial servers.
3. The field equipment gets the data stream through serial cables or direct hardware integration.

Serial/IP COM Port Redirector Features:
Extensive Platform Support
1. Windows 7/2008/Vista/2003/XP/2000/NT4/9x
2. Terminal Services, Citrix Metaframe
3. Native and virtual platforms, including Virtual Server and VMware
4. 32-bit or 64-bit version automatically installs

Scalable, Fast, Flexible
1. Up to 4,096 virtual COM ports for large applications
2. Entire data path is at kernel level, including networking and SSL
3. Low latency, no mode/context switch overhead of a Windows service
4. Always available, user login not required
5. Both outbound and inbound connections

Works with your choice of TCP/IP Serial Servers
1. Supports COM Port Control Protocol (RFC 2217), Telnet, raw TCP
2. Uses only widely supported public TCP/IP protocols
3. Configurable to detect/respond to any server login prompt

Easy to Configure
1. Verifies access to server and supported TCP/IP protocols
2. Recommends/sets optimal redirector settings
3. Can replicate settings across any/all virtual COM ports
4. Manages IP routing table to maintain server access

Transparent to Applications
1. Extends server connection for COM port hand-off
2. Automatically restores interrupted network connections
3. Synchronizes COM port open with server ready condition
4. Optionally throttles data rate to COM port settings

Secure
1. Automatically logs in to servers, using multiple credential sources
2. Supports SSL/TLS connections using OpenSSL (32-bit versions only)
3. Configurable for proxy servers
4. Settings and trace logs can be restricted to Administrators

Deployable
1. Installs interactively or via command line
2. Supports unattended command line install with privilege elevation
3. Uses DNS to resolve hostnames of servers
4. Configuration snapshot utility helps replicate settings during install
5. User-defined presets allow quick/controlled reconfiguration
6. ActiveX interface supports run-time reconfiguration
