Thus you can send and receive serial data between remote computers, devices and applications. With datAxe you can also create virtual ports and configure them to communicate with TCP/IP-networks. duplAxe component of datAxe makes it possible to build and start up virtual serial port pairs (COM port pairs) to enable also your local applications to exchange serial data directly with each other.

The main utility of datAxe, the Comport application allows any other computer on the same network to send and receive serial data through a remote serial port on the PC where Comport is running.

Comport allows multiple sessions to run simultaneously but each with different serial port.
