COM port sharing solution

Shared Serial Ports is an advanced utility for sharing a hardware serial port between multiple applications by creating virtual serial ports, so that each application can communicate via a port exclusively assigned to it, thus ensuring simultaneous data exchange. Any of the virtual ports may be allowed to send data to the real serial port, while separate permissions may be set for each application to read/write or modify the state of control lines (RTS, DTR, DCD, and RI).

Attention: This product is one of the three products that merged into one to provide you with the utmost functionality. This new powerful product is: Serial Splitter 4

With Shared Serial Port you can:

Share one port between several applications

Shared Serial Ports creates virtual copies of a hardware serial port and invisibly gives them the same name. For example, sharing the COM1 port means that several virtual COM1 ports are created to serve as common ports for all applications that need to communicate with the serial device connected to that port.

Let several applications control the shared port

Shared Serial Ports allows one COM port to be opened by several applications. As all of these applications are shown in the Applications List, you can easily add/remove them and set specific access permissions (such as read/write and control) for them. By default, the read/write permission is set for all applications; enabling some application to control the port means that it is allowed to modify the state of control lines, too.

Control signal lines of the shared serial port

Virtual ports created by Shared Serial Ports fully support all hardware signal lines (DTR/DSR, RTS/CTS, RING, ERROR, DCD, etc.). As in a real null-modem connection, DTR of the local port is connected to DSR and DCD of the remote port; and RTS of the local port, to CTS of the remote port.

Full features list:

  • Provide simultaneous access to a single serial port for multiple applications
  • Unlimited number of applications are able to work with one device (serial port) simultaneously
  • Flexible access policy for each application (read/write to serial port; manage control lines)
  • Useful on-screen visualization of shared serial ports, connected applications and communication activity (sent/received bytes, status, etc.)
  • RS232 specification standard compliant
  • Customize real serial port connection parameters (baudrate, parity, flow-control, databits and stopbits)
  • Bidirectional data transfer
  • Unique sharing technology
  • Completely transparent operation
  • Fully compatible with Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista
  • High speed data exchange from/to serial port (up to 256 kbits)
  • "Hot" installation - no reboot required either for installation or for creation of virtual serial ports

Demo version limitations:

  • 14-day trial period
