Network Serial Port and Eltima Serial To Ethernet Connector Software for Windows

Serial Port Redirector
$99.95 - FabulaTech, Inc.

Serial Port Redirector is used to connect a serial application to a remote TCP socket. This allows you to utilize modern hardware COM servers without changing your software or exchange data between a TCP/IP application and an old-fashioned program that can only connect to a serial port.

Serial Port Redirector creates a two-way bridge between a serial application and a specific TCP port at a specified IP address. This is done by creating virtual COM ports. When a serial application connects to one of these COM ports, a connection is established to a specified host and all the data from the COM port gets redirected via the Internet or a Local Area Network. The program receives data from network and redirects them to virtual COM port. It works transparently for serial apps. They use virtual COM ports as if they were connected directly to your hardware devices. With Serial Port Redirector, you can easily control remote hardware COM servers via a TCP/IP network from your serial application designed to work with locally connected devices only. Now you can access a router console, work with sales terminals and barcode scanners and more.

Modern electronic instruments may not support COM ports. They are plugged into USB or network adapters and can only send/receive data via TCP/IP networks. If you wish to use your old serial applications to analyze the data or control the devices, you will need a tool like Serial Port Redirector. Serial Port Redirector is compatible with the vast majority of hardware COM servers. Moreover, it can actually enhance their functionality. Normally, hardware COM servers are equipped with some basic software applications. For example, they are usually supplied with a terminal program that uses the Telnet protocol. While this works OK in a simple interactive mode, raw data transfers get scrambled due to an incomplete protocol implementation. Serial Port Redirector solves this problem.

datAxe TCP IP serial data converter
$120 - LabF

datAxe is a flexible converter to solve all your needs between serial data and TCP/IP networks on Windows computers. datAxe software package makes serial data from your PC available on TCP/IP-based networks and makes TCP/IP data available on physical and virtual serial ports of your PC. datAxe supports two transport data stream protocols: Raw Connection and Telnet datAxe supports full two-way I/O for full control of serial instruments (i.e. any instrument that you can plug into the serial port (RS232, RS422 or RS485) of your PC) to make them part of your local area network (LAN) or internet. Thus you can send and receive serial data between remote computers, devices and applications. With datAxe you can also create virtual ports and configure them to communicate with TCP/IP-networks. duplAxe component of datAxe makes it possible to build and start up virtual serial port pairs (COM port pairs) to enable also your local applications to exchange serial data directly with each other. The main utility of datAxe, the Comport application allows any other computer on the same network to send and receive serial data through a remote serial port on the PC where Comport is running. You can connect to the remote serial port by connecting to a TCP/IP port. Comport can also be used to pass serial data across a corporate intranet or over the Internet. Comport allows multiple sessions to run simultaneously but each with different serial port.

Advanced Virtual COM Port
$79.98 - KernelPro Software

Advanced Virtual COM Port is the first software of its kind which includes both local and network
virtual COM port functions.

It can share your real COM ports or it can create virtual COM ports and connect them with a
virtual null-modem cable locally or through a TCP/IP network or the Internet.

You can connect to a shared port and use it just like it is on your machine. Virtual serial ports
created by the program look and work the same way as real ones look and work.

Main features:
- Virtual COM Ports appear to the system and applications like real ones
- Virtual COM Ports work like real ones
- 64-Bit compatible (AMD64)
- Hot Virtual COM Port creation and removal (no need to reboot the computer)
- Once created, Virtual COM Ports persist in the system until you remove them
- No need to have physical serial ports (except for the physical ports sharing function)
- Higher data transfer rate than on hardware serial ports
- Up to 255 Virtual COM Ports can be created
- PnP, WMI support
- Flow control emulation supported
- Easy port state monitoring
- Ability to temporarily remove all ports without losing their configuration

Alarit Net Serial Driver (ANSD)
$149 - Alarit Inc.

While the operation of different facilities, which are connected to a computer via serial port, there may appear the necessity to start up utility program (for these facilities) not in the machine, to which the facilities connect directly, but in the remote machine, that is connected to the facility server via the network (TCP/IP).
The developers of the given facilities very often face with such a necessity. For instance, during the debugging in a remote machine or when different people with the help of different machines (which are nevertheless connected to one machine) maintain the same facilities.
ANSD is designed especially for the solving of these problems. The use of our product gives you the possibility to give the remote access to serial port via TCP/IP. The product consists of three parts:
1. AVSD is a program emulator of serial ports (up to 255) for operational system W2K/XP.
2. ANSD client is the service, which realizes the exchange between AVSD and TCP/IP.
3. ANSD server is a service which realizes the exchange between a real driver of the serial port and TCP/IP.

ANSD client and server handle two flows: outcoming and incoming.
The client takes the bytes that were transferred to all the virtual ports earlier and then transfers them to the server, which was started up on the other computer. Also the client receives flows from the server and gives the bytes (as those which came from the outside) to AVSD.
IP address of the receiving server, port number and the number of the real serial port on the receiver are specified on the client for each port.
The server receives the information from clients and then transfers it to the ports specified by them. As for the flows, which came from these ports, the server transfers them to the client as well. Besides the data flow, TCP/IP transfers the overhead information about the condition of different signals on serial port physical contacts.
