HsTcp2Com Professional Edition

Publisher Description

HsTcp2Com is a communication application / Serial Device Server for Windows and Linux which allows forwarding / bridging data between serial ports (RS232 / RS485, bluetooth, IrDA, USB) represented as COM ports or /dev/tty serial devices and TCP/IP connections or UDP/IP links. In the simplest scenario it is a Serial to TCP/IP converter / serial device server, but it can bridge data between any combination of COM / TTY serial ports and UDP or TCP ports, with TCP ports in either client or server modes.
HsTcp2Com software suite consists of
* Serial Device Server Application (runs in the background Linux as a daemon or on Windows as a service)
* Control Client GUI Application (runs on Windows only)
All device server configuration tasks (configuration of ports, tracing, diagnostics etc.) are performed remotely through the Control Client GUI via TCP/IP connection to the server
HsTcp2Com can be used to connect such as modems, routers, sensors, bar code scanners, meters, wireless devices, PBXes, GPS Receivers, data collection devices, any serial instruments to the serial ports of the PC and access that data from anywhere over an IP based network.
Features:
– Serial Device Server software runs on Linux or Windows
– Server operates in the background (Linux daemon or Windows service), works even when no user is logged on to the server PC
– Remote administration over TCP/IP via Windows GUI Control Client
– Access to server protected with username and password
– TCP/IP connection between the server and the Control GUI client is encrypted
– Supports simultaneously up to 128 links (forwarding connections) with each endpoint of the link capable of operating in different IP or Serial modes
– Supports simultaneous access to up to 32 serial devices (Linux TTY serial ports or Windows COM ports)
– Supports various connection modes: Serial to TCP Server, Serial to TCP Client, Serial to UDP, Serial to Serial, TCP Server to TCP Server, TCP Server

About HsTcp2Com

HsTcp2Com is a communication application for Windows that allows data transmission / bridge between serial ports (RS232, Bluetooth, IrDA, USB) represented as COM ports and TCP / IP connections or UDP / IP links. In the simplest scenario it’s a COM port to TCP/IP converter, but it can bridge data between any combination of TCP and UDP or COM ports, with TCP ports in client or server modes.

Use HsTcp2Com to connect data collection devices such as modems, sensors, barcode scanners, meters, wireless devices, PBXes, serial instruments to computer serial ports and access this data from from anywhere on an IP network.

Features
* Unlimited number of interconnect links each 2 ports in any combination above are able to work at the same time
* Any COM port to another COM port (total 100 COM ports are currently supported)
* TCP/IP COM port (TCP client mode)
* TCP/IP COM port (TCP server mode)
* UDP COM port
* TCP/IP UDP client * TCP/IP UDP
server * TCP/IP
server to TCP/IP client
* UDP UDP to
* Up to 32 links interconnect each 2 ports in any combination above are able to operate simultaneously
* Automatic port re-connect of disconnected or failed ports
* Program configuration for links and groups are stored in CSV files which can be edited both at runtime program in the external application or offline before starting the program

Shipping data (in packets) Options:
* Forward instantly on data reception
* Forward on buffer full
* Resend on inter-character delay
* Before end of frame character

Diagnostics and Statistics Features:
* Port status display
* Port receive and transmit counters * The data traffic echo function (port loopback) * The data traffic generation function (specified buffer sendon a timer) * Single send buffer function specified
* Event log displayed on screen and save them
* Data traffic trace in ASCII or HEX format displayed and saved in disk file
