Serial Splitter - Driver installation
You may use Serial Splitter when developing your own programs embedding our

To do this you should obtain Serial Splitter [OEM
license], register it and then utilize our serial splitter technology directly
from your software.
Attention! This
method is applicable for OEM-version only. You don't need to do this with
standard Serial Splitter package.
Installing Serial Splitter driver under Microsoft Windows 2000, 2003, XP, Vista
