Shared Serial Ports - How to check connection status?
Once the real serial port is shared, you may connect as many applications to this port as you want. To check the status of shared serial port, please, follow these steps:
1. Launch "Shared Serial Ports" application in case it is not started yet. For instance, the default path to it is: "Start" (Windows button) -> "All programs" -> "Eltima Software" -> "Shared Serial Ports" -> "Configure Shared Serial Ports".
2. In Serial ports tree panel, which displays all shared and unshared serial ports in your system, find shared serial port you want to check connection status for.
3. In "Connected applications" group of the shared serial port find applications that are connected to shared port (they could be identified by the full path to execution file). For instance, you may see that 2 applications are connected to shared COM1 port at the image above. Moreover, you may see that the first application has sent 58 bytes to shared serial port, while the second one - 38 bytes.
