Serial Splitter

Split serial ports, join them or create complex serial port bundles

Serial Splitter establishes serial connection and implements data transmission between COM-ports and applications, or any kind of serial port devices.

Basically, Serial Splitter offers 3 types of port splitting options (one-to-many ports, many-to-one, many-to-many), where serial ports (physical or virtual ones or both kinds at once) are used to form any side of connection. When Splitter is used to split only real ports and connects them to other physical serial ports, no virtual ports are created.

Virtual serial ports are based on a technology by Eltima and are used to connect several applications to the same COM-port. Splitter creates several virtual copies of a COM-port. Each virtual port is connected to the real port and has its unique name in the system. Applications refer to corresponding virtual ports (for instance, COM2, COM3), which send data to the real COM1 and to a connected device. Then, all data a real port receives from the device is transferred to the applications via virtual ports.

Common objectives and our solutions:

  • One-to-many ports connection

Serial Splitter splits one COM port (either real or virtual) into several ones (real or virtual ones), which are exact copies of the original port in the system. For instance, it splits real COM1 into virtual COM2, COM3, COM4 ports. To create a pure virtual ports pair you might also try Virtual Serial Port Driver. Here's a real-life example: A sale on a cash register is made. The cash register sends text via a serial port (COM1) to a computer. The software on the receiving computer takes the text from the serial port, and prints some of it to a video file. Using Serial Splitter one-to-many ports splitting, this information can be viewed from several computers or applications.

  • Many-to-one ports connection

Serial Splitter joins any number of COM ports into one serial port, allowing information from several devices to be received by a single application connected to the port at the OUT side of the bundle. For example: 100 websites are hosted on 100 computers. Via null modem a certain data is delivered from these computers to a PC with a microcontroller. On this PC Eltima Serial Splitter joins com-ports and sends all dataflow to a one virtual serial port. Single application receives and represents all information about the status of a 100 server hosts simultaneously.

connect any number of real or virtual serial ports
  • Many-to-many ports connection

Serial Splitter makes it possible to organize complex bundles of COM-ports. Using it you can establish connection between any number of real, virtual or both kinds of serial ports in either incoming or outgoing direction. Besides serial port data transmission, Serial Splitter gives the option to set Main Port for each side (IN/OUT) to manage control lines of a corresponding serial port.

Serial Splitter:

  • Adds virtual and physical COM-ports to the configuration in real time
  • Creates unlimited number of virtual serial ports
  • Delivers reliable and high speed data exchange with virtual serial ports
  • Is designed to provide simple ports bundles installation without specific programming skills
  • Automatically configures ports bundles every time you boot your PC

Testimonials

We use Serial Splitter to interconnect several COM ports between our applications. Serial Splitter's "bundling" functionality has helped us greatly and saved us lots of time and space. It's impressive how simple it is to accomplish most tedious and time-taking tasks with your Serial Splitter.
