HHD Software Shared Serial Ports is a software utility that allows you to manage data flow of a single COM port or device within multiple serial communication applications in different ways. It supports three basic modes of operation: Serial Port Splitter, COM Port Share and Serial Port Mapper.
Virtual ports fully emulate all the functionality of the original serial port. Our port virtualization technology supports all Plug-and-Play RS232, RS422, RS485 ports as well as legacy and even virtual serial ports. Serial ports created by PnP USB to Serial converters/adapters are also supported. There is a developer API for easy integration with your projects.
It provides you with clear and intuitive user interface, detailed documentation and requires no programming skills to start using it. Download it now and start cloning serial ports in a few seconds!
Technically, the product consists of three main components: a virtual ports driver, a in-process Com server and a configuration utility that communicates with the com server.
This serial ports splitting toolkit completely emulates all serial connection configurations (baud rate, parity bits, data bits, stop bits), serial line data and signals, rs232 hardware handshaking and flow control. The following serial modem line emulations are provided: DTR Data Terminal Ready, TxD Transmit Data, RxD Received Data, DCD Data Carrier Detect, RTS Request To Send, CTS Clear to Send, DSR Data Set Ready and RI Ring Indicator.
Our product supports splitting of any legacy, Plug and Play serial ports and standard EIA RS-232, RS-485, RS-422 I/O ports interfaced by 16550 UART: COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4... COM255. All virtual ports that a correctly registered and visible in the Windows device manager under Ports (COM and LPT) device class are also supported.
Our serial port splitter comes with a complete Software Developer Kit (SDK) that includes all the necessary libraries and components. The product is packed with detailed documentation containing examples. The library contains ActiveX/COM component and .NET Component, so you can use it to write program code and scripts that control ports and interconnections from your custom project.

Due to the fact that the design of the Windows operating system allows only one application to open the serial port exclusively, there are certain inconveniences in working with serial devices. Our software-based solution will help you to get around these inconveniences without the need for additional serial equipment.
Our serial port sharing and splitting solution allows you to:
Each virtual serial interface completely replicates the features, options and configurations of the original port. It fully emulates all the functionality of a hardware serial port, including baudrate, databits, parity, stopbits, etc. It also allows you to control a serial dataflow by emulating hardware control lines. (DTR, DSR, DCD, RTS, CTS and RI).
There are following com port flowcontrol emulations are supported by this application:
Any standard serial data transmission speed (bitrate) emulation is supported by our virtual ports: 110 bit/s, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 14400, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 128000 and 256000 bits per second. Custom and non-standard bit rates are also supported.
There are following advantages of our com ports splitting solution:
This is invaluable tool for testing, development and debugging of serial communication applications or working with legacy serial hardware.

Our serial splitting technology works on any desktop/laptop computer with workstation/server Windows platforms starting from Windows Vista. Both 32-bit and 62-bit platforms are supported. It fully supports all modern Windows-based operating systems including Windows 10 (x64 and x86), Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022.
Product requires dual-core x86 or x64 compatible CPU, 2 GB of RAM and at least 16 Mb of free HDD/SSD space.

Split one serial port into any number of its virtual copies. In this scenario, each application is allocated a dedicated virtual port where all the exchanged data of applications and device is also accessible. Any number of serial applications can simultaneously work with a device connected to the original serial port.
Share serial port to make it available for multiple serial applications running simultaneously. In this scenario, only single virtual copy of the source com port is created. But this copy, in contrast to the system serial port, has no limit for the number of applications that can access and use it simultaneously.
Create a new alias for an existing serial port. In this scenario, a new virtual port is mapped to an existing serial port and all data sent by an application to a virtual port is redirected to the original one and vice versa. This allows you to rename serial ports and assign numbers to match your application requirements.
Override serial port configuration and line control settings of shared, mapped or split serial port set by application when it opens a virtual port. It allows you to set baud rate, data bits, parity, stop bits and flow control settings if you need to control it strictly regardless of what is being sent by application.
Rich application programming interface (API) allows you to fully control application from your code or script. All kinds of virtual serial devices and their configuration may be controlled from different programming languages, like C++, C# or scripting languages like JavaScript or TypeScript.
The Product allows you to create permanent serial ports and links. Their configurations are reliably stored within operating system. The Product is fully compatible with Windows Power Management, so the original configuration for each item is automatically restored upon shutdown, reboot or sleep.
While reverse engineering of legacy serial devices and applications, you may find that the port number is hardcoded. There is no way to change it and system doesn't allow opening port by multiple applications simultaneously. So you are not able to see the data exchange between device and application. Our product allows you to access exchanged data by splitting the serial port into multiple virtual copies.

The Windows operating system in fact does not allow multiple applications to access the serial port simultaneously. You must first close the port in one application and only then you can open it in another application. Our product allows you to get around this limitation. It provides you with ability to create a virtual copy of the source port that allows multiple applications to use it simultaneously.

Sometimes it may be necessary to control a serial device connected to one Com port using multiple isolated applications. There is no way to achieve this using only built-in Windows features, each com port can be opened exclusively by one application at a time. And here our product will help you to implement this scheme of simultaneous interaction between any number of applications and a single device.

If you have a scalable project that uses an serial applications for individual functions, and you need to extend features of project without adding physical ports, our solution will allow you to accomplish this task. Any of the existing serial ports can be split into multiple virtual copies and new individual applications can be connected to each copy in order to communicate with the device.
