We’ve been working hard on Serial Port Control 2.0.5 and we are really excited to announce today that Serial Port Control 2.0.5 is now available for download. What’s new: Along with fixing an issue with signal loss by ActiveX, we’ve added the MS Access 2007 compatibility. (more…)

Update: User interface improved. Deploy the program over network.

The new serial port software Serial Port Mapper version 1.3.4 allows to map any serial ports to any other ports. E.g. you install additional COM port expansion card to computer as COM7 serial port but your favorite software can work with COM1 port only. To resolve this problem you can use this serial port program. Configuration via command line interface is available as well. The program works as system service.

The program can be deployed over network now.

Our team has implemented considerable improvements on the user interface to provide the best working conditions and made the network feature available. (more…)

Software integrators, your time has come - Network Serial Port Kit update version 5.4.2 released. Now it’s possible to deploy the program over network!

It has updated user interface now and combines local virtual COM port functionality and network one. You can connect data collection serial devices: bar code scanners, modems, sensors, gages, RF equipment, telephone PBX systems, laboratory or industrial instruments, and so on - to the serial ports of your computer to deliver that data anywhere over any TCP/IP based network.

Share COM ports between several applications or vice versa to join dataflow of several COM port devices to one application. Issue with shared port frequent opening resolved. Program user interface improved. Issue with joining COM ports via command line utility fixed. (more…)

Now the program is compatible with Windows Vista. Issue with disappearing swapped serial ports fixed.

Serial Port Mapper allows now to assign new names for serial ports. Now one can map any serial ports to any other port name. In other words, it allows to create aliases for com ports. (more…)

For the recent time everybody was getting excited about overcoming the complexity of the Win32 Serial Communications API. We received a whole bunch of requests to find a simple peer-to-peer professional solution to deal with it. And Yes! We are excited to present the updated expert solution: Serial Port Control 2.0.3 (more…)

Tutorial MovieTo connect ActiveSync to the Pocket PC emulator you have to create virtual serial ports pair by using our Virtual Serial Port Kit product. The null modem scheme should be with full handshaking and DTR to DCD connection. That option is enabled by default. Serial ports COM1 through COM4 are the only usable ports within the emulator.

There are several pinout schemes of virtual null modems. Three lines null modem (without handshaking) is simplest where only the data lines are cross connected in the null modem communication. It’s simplest and can’t be used in all circumstances because there is a problem, if either of the two applications checks the DSR or DCD inputs. These signals normally define the ability of the other side to communicate. As they are not connected, their signal level will never go high. This might cause a problem. As you can imagine, with this simple null modem no hardware flow control can be implemented. The only way to perform flow control is with software flow control using the XOFF and XON characters. Virtual Serial Port Kit doesn’t use simplest null modem. (more…)
