Adding serial communications capabilities to an application is never a simple matter. It requires specialized knowledge that might be outside an individual programmers expertise. For years, VBScript, Visual Basic and Visual C++ developers have relied upon the power, flexibility and reliability of the ActiveComport serial communications control from ActiveXperts Software.
ActiveComport is a COM component, that provides an easy-to-use scripting interface for serial, asynchronous communications through a serial port. ActiveComport can control modems, ISDN modems, USB serial devices and other devices and machines that have a serial interface.
Use ActiveComport for different purposes:
To control manufacturing machines via the serial port;
To configure network devices (like print-servers, routers) via the serial port;
To control a modem, connected to the serial/USB port or Bluetooth;
To send SMS messages to a mobile telephone using a GSM SmartPhone/Modem connected to the PC (serial/USB port or Bluetooth);
To transfer files through a null modem cable;
Any other scenario where serial communications is involved.
ActiveComport features the following:
Direct COM ports supported (like COM2);
Windows Telephony Devices supported (like Standard 9600 bps Modem);
Support for RS-232, RS422 and RS485;
Up to 256 ports opened simultaneously;
Thread-safe to allow the toolkit in multi-threading environments (multi-threading samples included);
Support for Hayes compatible modems, connected via a serial port, USB or Bluetooth;
Support for GSM/GPRS modems (serial port, USB or Bluetooth);
Support for Virtual COM ports (i.e. COM ports redirected through the network);
Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR);
Software flowcontrol (XON/XOFF);
Support for any baudrate;
Ability to set baudrates, parity, stopbits;
Full buffered data transfer;
Text and Binary data transfer |
