Serial Redirector device

Purpose: redirect serial port data to another serial port.

Serial Redirector is connecting 2 existing (real or virtual) serial ports. It is redirecting data and modem registers (RTS, DTR etc).

Data can be processed by adding custom data transformers for every connected COM port (see Transformers).

Serial redirector can (and usually should) be combined with other VSPE devices to build complex data flows.

Example:

• Connector COM1
• Connector COM2
• Redirector COM1 <-> COM2

The configuration above allows you to stop data routing at any time by stopping Redirector, or add custom data processing to routed traffic.

This device does not create new virtual serial ports.

Serial redirector settings

• Read only: COM port is in read-only state
• Detect stale incoming data: if specified COM port does not emit any data within 10-20 seconds, the device will be automatically re-initialized. This can be useful to detect some unreliable hardware connected to Source port
• Redirect modem registers: redirect modem registers (DTR/RTS)
