Allows any of the serial (RS232) ports on your PC to interface directly to a TCP/IP network. This makes it possible for any other computer on the same network to access the serial ports on the PC where TCP/Com is running through a TCP/IP socket connection. For example, you could connect a serial device (bar code reader, electronic balance or electronic measuring instrument) to a COM port on your PC, run TCP/Com and then connect to the device from any other PC on your network through a TCP/IP socket connection. This would allow you to use TCPWedge™, Telnet™ or any other TCP/IP communications software to read or write to the serial device directly from any PC located on the same network. TCP/Com can also be used to pass serial data across a corporate intranet or over the Internet.
