Manage ports
Manage ports tab is accessible from the Main Window and provides functionality to add/remove virtual port pairs, enable/disable strict emulation and break line/restore connection, being the main tab in VSPD.
Virtual Serial Port Driver thanks to its own technology enables you to create virtual serial ports with any names you like ("virtualport1", "port_for_terminal", "4", etc), so you are not limited to COMx names only.
Enable strict baudrate emulation option - with the help of this feature, all programs connected to virtual serial ports will work at baudrate value you set, otherwise baudrate value will be ignored.
Break line/restore connection option enables you to emulate physical line break, in fact this option drops all incoming signal lines (DCD, DSR, CTS, RI) and data from one port is not transferred to another.
Please, refer to using VSPD section to see how you can add/delete ports and use other features.
Notes:
1) If you are using custom virtual port names, please, make sure that programs working with these ports support custom port names.
2) "Enable strict baudrate emulation" and "Break line/Restore connection" options are only available in Windows NT4/2000/XP/2003/Vista
