Virtual Serial Port Kit 5.2

Common Solution:
 
There are two applications which are exchanging data via serial ports. These programs should be connected and a null-modem cable is used for it.

There are several problems you can come across:

• There are no two serial ports on your PC.
• All serial ports are already occupied.
• It is necessary to connect several pairs of programs simultaneously and one null-modem cable is not enough.

FabulaTech Solution:

Using Virtual Serial Port Kit you can emulate unlimited number of serial ports and connect each pair of them via a virtual null-modem cable. So, your applications can exchange data just like they do via hardware serial ports and real null-modem cables. For example, using VSPK, you can create pair of virtual serial ports (e.g. COM7 and COM8) and connect two applications to them. All data that the first application writes to COM7 is read from COM8 by the second application, and vice versa.

Example: It is easy to test. You can run two copies of terminal program (e.g. standard Windows HyperTerminal) and connect them to COM7 and COM8. So, all you type in the first HyperTerminal will appear in the second and vice versa. You can also transfer files between HyperTerminals and do whatever you want.

Major Benefits:

• The applications recognize virtual serial ports created by VSPK as the usual hardware serial ports.
• There is no need to waste money on different null-modem cables, because VSPK emulates all types of null-modem schemes.
• Your hardware serial ports are not occupied. So they can be used for any other purposes.
• These are no cables hanging on the backside of your PC because all data transmission is being done inside.

Virtual Serial Port Kit OEM License:

• General Information. OEM License allows you to integrate Virtual Serial Port Kit functionality into your own application. It permits you unlimited redistribution of Virtual Serial Port Kit as an integral part of your software without having individual license keys.
• Integration. There are several ways that the OEM license can be installed: Silent installation procedure; Standard installation procedure (with an embedded license key)
• Developer API. Using Developer API, your application can make any Virtual Serial Port Kit configuration change that you could make manually in the Virtual Serial Port Kit GUI. Developer API is available in the following forms (may vary depending on product): Dinamic Link Library; ActiveX/COM; .NET Component Borland Component

Target Groups. Virtual Serial Port Kit is useful for serial software developers. It allows to speed up development process during debugging and data-logging period. You can debug your program (which uses serial port) by connecting it to another program (e.g. serial device emulator). You can connect ActiveSync directly to Pocket PC emulator using Virtual Serial Port Kit.

Major Features:

1. General

• Allows to create virtual serial ports connected via a virtual null-modem cable
• Allows to create virtual serial loopback plugs
• Full hardware serial ports emulation
• Virtual serial ports look and work like real hardware ports
• Serial data bitrate (transmission speed) emulation
• Different virtual null-modem schemes are available (full, partial, loopback)
• Unlimited number of virtual COM port pairs can be created
• Once created virtual ports are operable at each system startup (prior to user login)
• Overlapped virtual COM ports support (virtual serial ports can have the same names as existing physical COM ports)
• Real null-modem cables are not required
• Real serial ports are not occupied
• Virtual communication is more fast and reliable than via a real null-modem cable

2. Compatibility

• Full Microsoft serial.sys compatibility
• PnP and WMI technologies compatibility
• Hyper-Threading Technology compatibility
• VMware compatibility

3. User Interface and API

• User-friendly program interface
• Hot Virtual COM port creation and removal, without rebooting your computer
• One click enable/disable button for all virtual serial ports
• Virtual serial ports are controlled directly from your own application using command-line
• Virtual serial ports are controlled directly from your own application using Dynamic Link Library (OEM license)

Enhancements:

1. Drivers digitally signed. 64-bit Windows support.
2. Automatic update feature added allowing to be always up-to-date.

Requirements: Windows
