Serial Port Tools - Redirect, Split, Join, Share

Virtual Serial Port Driver is a powerful multifunctional tool for work with ports. Its features include port splitting, joining, redirection, and many others. However, there is a tool that is just as powerful, while also being network-capable - Serial to Ethernet Connector. Let’s examine the two applications and determine the best use cases for each.
Virtual Serial Port Driver

Primary Features

Learn what Virtual Serial Port Driver and Serial to Ethernet Connector can do.
Virtual Pairs

Virtual Pairs

Both applications can create virtual or hybrid physical-virtual pairs of serial ports with COM port emulation. This can help you with the creation of virtual devices or with connecting legacy software that only supports COM communication.
Port Splitting

Port Splitting

Send data from a single device to multiple receivers. This allows logging to be simply, quickly, and reliably introduced in various situations, such as redirecting output from a GPS unit to a black box and a navigation computer at the same time.
Port Joining

Port Joining

Consolidate data from multiple ports into a single one, letting you collectively control and get data from arrays of similar devices, such as smoke detectors. This is especially useful with Serial to Ethernet Connector, since the joined ports can be located away from each other.
Data Redirection

Data Redirection

Send data from one physical COM port to another, or to the virtual port of your choice. Multiple ports can be connected this way.
Network Transmission

Network Transmission

A feature that’s exclusive to Serial to Ethernet Connector, it allows physical or virtual ports to be connected over a local network or the internet.
And there’s more! Both Virtual Serial Port Driver and Serial to Ethernet Connector have additional capabilities.
