There is a number of the equipment controlled through a serial port from a PC or a terminal. Also there is a lot of the technologies in the market allowing to operate remotely the consecutive devices through the network TCP/IP. These solutions contain, both software and the hardware. Our company as well has the like solution: it is a product for the remote control of consecutive devices Multiport.USB. Nowadays there are more and more devices with interface USB as alternative to the parallel or consecutive connection, but there are still no decisions on the remote control of USB devices. One can think that there is no need in such solutions or they are not applicable in real life. In order to refuel this opinion we present here some examples of application of this technology.
LetOs suppose you have purchased the software protected by USB HASP KEY, but you want this product to be used on several computers, but in different time. If the computers are located close - it is not a problem to pull out the USB HASP KEY from one computer and to insert into another. There is a problem when the computers are located in different premises, or it is worse than that, in different cities (two sub-units of the same firm). Then it is necessary for you to purchase the additional license for the product and it may cost you thousand $.
In this case our product can solve your problem, thus you do not break requirements of the license agreement since simultaneously the product can work only on one computer.
Now with Multiport.USB you can:
-Create virtual USB devices at your PC
-Redirect all USB stream to remote computer

WSC4eVB includes 33 serial port functions plus XMODEM and YMODEM protocols, and a selection of eVB example programs. Requires Microsoft Embedded Tools 3.0.
WSC4eVB features include:
* Can control any serial device connected to the serial port.
* Can control multiple ports simultaneously.
* Is fully thread safe.
* Supports Windows/CE Pocket PC (PPC) and Handheld PC (HPC).
* Does not depend on support libraries. Makes calls to Win/CE API functions only.
* Also use with eVC (Embedded Visual C/C++).

Share Serial Ports is an advanced utility, the purpose of which is to share real serial ports between multiple applications in the way, that all applications will receive same data from real serial port simultaneously. Shared Serial Ports can be used for serial port emulation, as it connects real serial ports by creating virtual serial ports, which are same copies as real ones. Each application will think that it is working with serial port in exclusive mode. All virtual serial ports will be able to send data to real serial port. Also, you will be able to set permissions to read, write or change control lines state for every application separately. Sharing a serial port is trully effective and reliable with Shared Serial Ports.

To start sharing a serial port you should simply select the serial port you wish to share in the drop-down list and put a checkmark "Share this port". |
