In the age of
informational flows, all communications are moving to ignore time and distance limits. Mobility is one of
most wanted property of every device.
Serial interfaces have many limitations
such as wire transfer length, number of simultaneously connected devices, only particular computer operator
can work with device etc. Slight attempts of sharing were made by OS vendor (printer, disk) but it is not e
nough. To remove all these restrictions and bring mobility and accessibility to serial devices our company
created technology and in particular Virtual USB technology® .
Serial interfaces
become more complicated and powerful, still the dependence on legacy COM is essential. Lots of programs
were developed to maintain only COM transfers, even new serial interfaces such as Bluetooth or Irda
often are presented in systems as COM ports, so the problem of representing any dataflow protocol
in COM format is vital and highly demanded nowadays.
Our Virtual serial
ports creation and management technology allows meeting such requirements efficiently, quickly and
secure, reduces development efforts significantly. It doesn't require strong programming skills and
outstanding OS architecture knowledge anymore to reach the goal.
To make the technology easy-to-use and flexible... read more
Serial interfaces have
many limitations such as wire transfer length, number of simultaneously connected devices, only
particular computer operator can work with device etc. Slight attempts of sharing were made by
OS vendor (printer, disk) but it is not enough.
The
main goal is serial stream redirection over network and Internet. It means that the device, which has
serial interface (COM, USB, IEEE 1394 FireWire) can be easily accessed from any network-connected
node. Now we have redirection systems for COM and USB as the most common serial interfaces.
To reach the goal we created client-server system, which :
1) creates virtual com-port on client side (remote machine)
2) redirects all serial
stream to physical COM port at server (where COM device connected).
So we get emulated COM device on client side. It should be mentioned that
with COM@nywhere engine, redirection process is fully transparent for host and target operating
systems. read more
