COMPort Redirector for Windows & Linux/Unix platform

Sena provides Serial/IP™ software for those users who want to use the existing application programs based on serial communication. The Serial/IP Redirector runs on your PC and creates virtual COM ports that allow PC applications to use Sena device/terminal servers on TCP/IP networks.

The Serial/IP Redirector by Tactical Software lets applications use networked Sena device/terminal servers – without application software changes. Through virtual COM ports created by the Serial/IP Redirector, applications can immediately use a device/terminal server's serial ports as if they were local serial ports.

The Serial/IP Redirector software runs at the kernel level to provide superior performance and low latency.

  • Serial/IP software for Windows
  • TTYredirector for Linux/Unix
Overview
The Serial/IP™ COM Port Redirector creates virtual COM ports for applications to use networked serial servers, with no change to application software.

Standard Features
  • Control Panel interface, activity monitor, and trace display
  • Supports virtual COM ports filtering in the Trace window
  • Creates up to 4,096 virtual COM ports
  • Selects large number of virtual COM ports easily
  • Configuration Wizard automates and verifies settings
  • Replicates a port configuration to any number of other virtual COM ports
  • Automated login to Sena device/terminal servers
  • Runs as a Windows service, no Windows login required
  • Administrator install option prevents changes by users
  • Control Panel settings for DTR/DSR/DCD handling
  • Supports RFC 2217, Telnet COM Port Control Protocol

SSL/TLS Security Option
  • Encrypts TCP/IP connection data
  • Selectable ciphers and strengths, up to 256-bit AES
  • Provides and validates SSL certificates
  • Requires server support for SSL/TLS encryption

Requirements
  • Intel-compatible PC, 32-bit or 64-bit (x64) processor
  • Windows operating system: XP, 2000, NT 4, Me, 98, NT/2000 Terminal Server, Citrix MetaFrame

Serial applications begin using networked serial ports in three easy steps
  • The Serial/IP Redirector creates virtual COM ports for selected ports from COM1 to COM4,096. Existing COM ports are automatically excluded.
  • Through the Serial/IP Control Panel, each Serial/IP COM port can be separately configured to use a designated Sena device server.

Overview
SENA provides the TTYredirector by Tactical Software(www.tacticalsoftware.com) that is a COM Port Redirector for Linux x86, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora Core, SUSE and Debian.

Standard Features
  • Supports user-defined device names, automatically linked to psuedo-tty devices
  • Supports server connections with raw TCP/IP, Telnet, or enhanced Telnet (RFC 2127) protocols
  • Automated login to Sena device servers
  • Baud-rate limiting to enforce a specified data rate from TTYredirector to a remote device
  • Port close delay for port hand-off applications
  • Support Nagle algorithm control to reduce latency for short transmissions and for faster recovery from packet loss
  • Server synchronization to prevents data flow until connection to server is fully negotiated
  • Automatic reconnect to Sena device servers if the network connection is interrupted and restored
  • Employs keep-alive mechanism for faster detection of failed network connections to Sena device servers
  • Regulates flow of data to/from device server with network-level flow control
  • Initializes remote port baud rate, framing, parity, flow control, and DTR/RTS state

Requirements
  • Linux x86 on 32-bit or 64-bit Intel-compatible PC, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora Core, SUSE, Debian
  • Unix98 pty driver (included in Linux by default)
