Virtual Serial Ports Features

Local Bridges

Creation of pairs of virtual serial ports connected with each other by means of a virtual null-modem cables.

Pipe-connected Ports

Creation of virtual serial ports connected to a named pipe to be used to communicate with guest OS serial ports created by VM emulation software.

Remote Ports

Creation of virtual serial ports that act as remote physical serial port.

Shared Ports

Creation of virtual serial ports that share access to existing serial ports, making them available for simultanous use by several applications.

Port Mapping

Creation of port aliases - virtual serial ports that redirect to an existing serial port.

Port Splitting

Splitting existing serial ports - creating any number of port aliases that can be opened by several applications at the same time.

Changing port names

Changing the port name of the created virtual serial port.

Multiple devices of the same type

Creation of multiple devices of the same type.

Remote Bridges

Creation of pairs of virtual serial ports connected with each other by means of a virtual null-modem cable. Virtual serial ports are created on different computers.

Listening Ports

Creation of listening serial ports. A listening port is used as a connection point to create a remote bridge.

Custom pin-out

Custom wiring for local and remote bridges allows you to specify the connection between virtual socket pins.

TX buffer overflow emulation

Emulation of output buffer overflow for local and remote bridges.

Line noise emulation

Emulation of line noise for local and remote bridges.

Permanent devices

Ability to create permanent devices. Configuration of a permanent device is automatically restored after reboot or sleep.

API

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.

Port parameters overrides

Ability to override port parameters (baud rate, line control settings or flow control settings) set by application when it opens a virtual serial port.
