TCP-Com 6

TCP-Com is RS232 to TCP/IP redirector software or software Terminal Server (Serial Server). You can easily interface RS232 ports directly to TCP/IP or UDP networks (i.e. Ethernet or Internet). TCP-Com can also create “Virtual” RS232 serial ports that are actually connections to a TCP/IP port. This allows you to use existing Windows-based serial communications software to send and receive data across a TCP/IP network.

TCP-Com is an extremely simple program however it is also extremely powerful and can be used to solve a wide variety of device interfacing and RS232 or TCP/IP communications problems, such as the following:

• Turn a PC into a serial device server (Terminal Server).
• Send or receive data over a TCP/IP port with any serial communications program.
• Open COM ports located on another computer in your network as if they were local.
• Use your network (or the Internet) as a giant serial cable (Serial Tunneling).
• Use TCP-Com to feed data from one physical RS232 port to multiple RS232 serial communications programs.
• Use TCP-Com to map a TCP/IP port to a different TCP/IP port
  

• Acts as a "Serial Device Server" connecting serial devices directly to TCP/IP networks.
• Creates virtual com ports on any Windows PC that are actually TCP/IP port connections.
• Makes real com ports into TCP/IP port connections.
• Can send TCP/IP network data to virtual or real serial com ports.
• Virtual serial ports act exactly like real serial ports to your existing serial communication programs.
• Supports UDP/IP as well as TCP/IP.
• Attach as many serial devices to your PC as you have com ports and communicate with all simultaneously them  over TCP/IP networks.
• Supports data input from up to 256 com ports simultaneously.
• Supports data input or output to up to 256 TCP/IP connections as either a client or server.
• Supports multiple client connections when configured as a TCP/IP server.
• Supports up to 115Kb serial communications
• Supports advanced error recovery features that automatically repair broken TCP/IP connections.
• Comes with two licenses (unlock keys) so that you can install on two PCs simultaneously so you can both connect RS232 devices to an IP network and simultaneously make the networked data from those devices available at real or virtual com ports on another PC.
• Can be installed as a Windows service.
