Overview

Network Serial Port Kit is a software for sharing serial ports and COM port devices over a local network or the Internet.
When you share a physical serial port, it becomes accessible for other computers over network.
Thus you can easily connect to remote serial device from anywhere.

How it works

When the program shares a COM port on the remote computer,
the shared port becomes accessible over a network for other computers with Network Serial Port Kit installed.
On the local computer a virtual serial port is created.
The virtual port is connected to the specified remote physical port.

As soon as any communications software on the local machine opens the virtual port,
the connection between physical and virtual serial ports is established.
All the data and signals written to the virtual port are transferred to the remote physical COM port and vice versa.
Local application accept data transferring as if the remote device were plugged into COM port on the local computer.

There are no any problems when working with serial devices remotely. Any serial devices will function normally, including barcode scanners, modems, GPS, sensors, PBX, laboratory equipment and more. You won't see a difference because remote serial devices will function as local ones.

Real Usage Example

Computer A is located in London.
The modem ZyXel Omni 56K is physically plugged into COM1 on the computer.
Computer B is located in New York.
You want to use the modem ZyXel Omni 56K on the computer B in New York.

Network Serial Port Kit shares COM1 on the computer A and makes the serial port accessible for the computer B overseas.
The program creates virtual COM4 on the computer B in New York and connects virtual COM4 with shared COM1 in London.
Now COM1 and COM4 are connected over the Internet.
COM4 is the exact copy of COM1 which makes it possible to use the hardware modem on the computer B in New York.
