Shared Serial Ports 2.0

Shared Serial Ports is an advanced utility, the purpose of which is to share real serial ports between multiple applications in the way, that all applications will receive same data from real serial port simultaneously. It is achieved by creating virtual serial ports, which are same copies as real one. Each application will think that it is working with serial port in exclusive mode. All virtual serial ports will be able also to send data to real serial port. Also, you will be able to set permissions to read, write or change control lines state for every application separately.

Shared Serial Ports is a simple, low-cost and efficient solution to share one serial port among multiple applications at the same time. Our application ensures simultaneous, high-speed, bi-directional and collision-free connection to serial port (RS232 standard) for unlimited number of applications. All applications that connect to shared COM port will be able to communicate (send and receive data) with the device which is attached to real port as if they have an exclusive access to that device. As the result, Shared Serial Ports application lets you bypass one-application-per-one-serial-port limitation and grant custom access rights to certain applications.

Shared Serial Ports uses Eltima accredited virtual serial ports technology (used by thousands of institutions and individuals worldwide) to invisibly create virtual serial ports in your system. To connect many applications to one serial port you just have to share it... with one click. Every time new application connects to shared COM1, new instance of virtual COM1 port is automatically created and access to serial port device is granted (port access is managed by Shared Serial Ports highly secure).

To manage serial port connections Shared Serial Port provides versatile access policy for each application. You may grant read/write access rights to particular application, define application that can manage serial port signal lines (Request To Send, Data Transmission Ready, etc.) and specify serial port connection parameters (Baudrate, Databits, Parity, Stop bits, Flow control).

Flexible and tested technology, simplicity in use and adjustable access policy make Shared Serial Ports a real pleasure to work with. Finally, OEM license allows you to invisible integrate Shared Serial Port's great features into your own software!
