The NSP Pro is a powerful data communications framework, which
allows easy connection of serial port devices to a computer network
(such as TCP / IP). A Network Serial Port appears to application
software as a "standard" Window‘s Serial Port
(virtually identical to an RS-232 port). The data source and endpoints
for a Network Serial Port are expressed on a computer network
such as TCP/IP.
With NSP Pro you can easily connect modems, scales, laboratory
instruments, bar code readers, and virtually any other serial
port device to a network. NSP Pro's exclusive Virtual Serial
Port capability allows accessing the connected devices from
remote locations as though they were local resources! Click

Network Serial Port Professional (NSP Pro) - Components
-
PhysicalOnServerToSingle Utility - Places a
Serial Port's (such as RS-232) bi-directional datastream on
a single Network Socket using "server" Socket paradigms.
These paradigms allow remote network clients to dynamically
connect and disconnect (similar to answering a phone) to this
datastream.
-
VirtualOnServerToSingle Utility - Places a
Virtual Serial Port's bi-directional datastream on a single
Network Socket using "server" Socket paradigms. A
Virtual Port may be accessed by "serial port aware"
applications (example: HyperTerminal). The server paradigms
allow remote network clients to dynamically connect and disconnect
from the datastream of the Virtual Port (this is similar to
answering telephone calls).
-
PhysicalOnClientToSingle Utility- Connects
the bi-directional data stream from a local Serial Port (such
as RS-232) to another bi-directional datastream on a single
remote network socket. Using socket client paradigms, this utility
can select which remote network socket to connect (this is similar
to dialing a telephone).
-
The VirtualOnClientToSingle - Connects a Virtual
Serial Port's bi-directional datastream on a single Network
Socket to another bi-directional data stream on a single remote
Network Socket. Using "server" Socket paradigms.
A Virtual Port may be accessed locally by "serial port
aware" applications (example: HyperTerminal). Using socket
client paradigms, this utility can select which remote network
socket to connect (this is similar to dialing a telephone).
Hypothetical Data Flow Diagram
In the following hypothetical example, a serial device (in this
case a modem on an RS-232 Cable) has been expressed using NSP
Pro, across a network. The user of the PC in London can access
the Modem in New York, named (for example), using the serial
port name: COM-NY.
