serial port splitter - share serial port

Serial Port Splitter

Serial Splitter is a versatile application that allows you to split one port among several applications in such way that they can all get the same data at the same time. Each application will communicate with a separate virtual port, while in reality they'll work with the same real port at a time. It is also possible to join several ports into one, redirect data from one port to another, create complex bundles. Serial Splitter works great with real COM ports as well as with virtual ones.

With new version Serial Splitter has added the switcher option to its baggage. Switcher allows to automatically determine the free port in the list of specified COM ports and assign it to the application that needs to work with it now. Moreover now Serial Splitter logs all events, so you can easily see which application opened the port and what parameters were used.

split COM port

Serial Splitter can create several
types of serial ports bundles:

One-to-many ports connections

Serial Splitter can split one COM port into several virtual ports. For instance, the hardware port COM1 may be split into the virtual ports COM2, COM3, COM4. Or you can just share real COM port among multiple applications without creating virtual copies of the original port.

Many-to-one ports connections

Serial Splitter can join any number of COM ports into one virtual serial port, thus allowing data from several devices to be received by a single application connected to the port at the OUT side of the bundle.

share com port

Complex bundles with multiple ports at each side

Serial Splitter lets you arrange complex bundles of COM ports, i.e. to establish connection between any number of serial ports in either incoming or outgoing direction. Besides, you have the option of setting Main Port for each direction (IN/OUT) in order to be able to manage control lines of the corresponding serial port.

Ports switcher

With switcher you can enhance the work with those application that can work with a limited quantity of ports only. Simply specify one virtual port in such application and create a switcher for this port in Serial Splitter, where add all COM ports you'll need (and you can assign the same name to all of them for more convenient usage). So the program works with any free port Serial Splitter assigns to it as if it were always the same port.
