Shared Serial Ports

Share real serial ports between multiple applications.

Shared Serial Ports makes it possible to share one COM port between several applications.
  • Share one RS232 port between multiple applicaitons
  • Open one COM port by several applications
  • Perform several tasks simultaneously
  • Ensure fast and correct data transmission

Detailed information:

Shared Serial Ports allows multiple applications access one serial port

  • Make several applications access one serial port simultaneously. Shared Serial Ports lets several different applications access one serial COM port at the same time. This is made possible thanks to virtual serial port technology. Simply Shared Serial Ports creates several virtual copies of one real serial port and gives them the same name. These virtual ports serve as common physical ports to all applications.

  • Control serial port signal lines. All usual hardware signal lines are supported and emulated by Shared Serial Ports. As in real null-modem connection, DTR of the local port is connected to DSR and DCD of the remote port, and RTS of the local port is connected to CTS of the remote port.

  • Set access rights for every application. By default, all applications have the same serial port access rights: read and write. It means that applications can read from and write to real serial port, but cannot change its control lines states. By enabling CONTROL rights, you define main applications which can change control lines states.

  • a simple yet professional solution to share one serial port
