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 enabled, COM port is expected to constantly emit data. If the data is not emitted, the device will be automatically re-initialized
• Redirect modem registers: redirect modem registers (DTR/RTS)
