Free Remote Serial Ports

The following com port flow control emulations are supported:

• No flow control
• Software flow control (XON/XOFF flow control)
• Hardware flow control (Rs 232 RTS/CTS flow control, DTS/DSR flow control)
• Custom flow control

The following serial port baud rates are fully emulated:

• 110 bit/s, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 128000 and 256000 bits per second as well as any custom non-standard bit rates.

FRSP provides you with easy to use GUI and console application control utilities.

Supported Serial Ports

Our RSP allows you to redirect custom PnP serial ports and I/O ports interfaced by 16550 UART: COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4 ... COMN serial interface, correctly registered and visible in Windows Device Manager under standard Ports (COM & LPT) device class. Legacy physical ports, Plug & Play COM ports, Serial ports created by PnP USB to Serial converters, virtual serial ports are fully supported.

Any remotely connected serial devices will be accessible on local computer, including modems, GPS/trackers, barcode scanners, sensors, PBX, laboratory equipment and much more.

Supported Usage Scenarios

FRSP may be applicable as some kind of serial port redirector / COM port redirector which forwards remote serial devices connected by null-modem cable with DB-25 or DE-9 connectors to the local virtual copy of serial port. The following serial line options are fully emulated: Transmitted Data TxD, Received Data RxD, Data Terminal Ready DTR, Carrier Detect DCD, Data Set Ready DSR, Ring Indicator RI, Request To Send RTS, Clear To Send CTS Serial (Modem) control lines. All incoming connections, data and signals are forwarded to the local port copy.

Together with virtual com ports tool our free remote serial ports program may be used as effective network serial port Kit which helps you in solving most relevant tasks in serial development, testing serial device failures, sniffing serial port dataflow, creating data transferring protocols and debugging RS232/RS422/RS485 serial communication programs.
