TCP-Com is a software solution that enables access to serial (RS232) devices over TCP/IP networks by creating virtual or real COM ports on a Windows PC. It allows users to redirect Ethernet or network data to these COM ports, making serial devices accessible as if they were locally attached. TCP-Com can also act as a serial device server (terminal server), share devices across a network, and split a single COM port into multiple virtual ports for simultaneous access by multiple applications.

Key Features

Ethernet to RS232 Conversion Redirects network data to serial ports.

• Converts Ethernet/TCP/IP data to RS232
• Creates virtual COM ports for network data

Serial Device Server Functionality Shares serial devices over a network.

• Acts as a PC-based serial device server (terminal server)
• Makes any RS232 or USB serial device accessible via IP address and port

Virtual COM Port Creation Enables use of existing serial software over networks.

• Creates as many virtual or real COM ports as needed
• Allows legacy serial software to communicate over TCP/IP

COM Port Splitting Allows multiple applications to access the same serial data.

• Splits a single COM port into multiple virtual ports
• Bypasses Windows restriction on single-application COM port access

Multi-Port Support Handles multiple devices and connections.

• Supports adding additional USB or RS232 ports for multi-port setups

Benefits

Legacy Software Integration Enables modern network connectivity for legacy serial applications.

• Use existing serial software with networked devices
• No need to modify or replace legacy systems

Device Sharing and Centralization Centralizes device access and management.

• Share devices across multiple PCs and applications
• Simplifies device deployment in distributed environments

Flexibility and Scalability Adapts to various communication setups.

• Supports both real and virtual ports
• Scales from single-device to multi-device environments
