VPortPro Version 2.3: VportPro-client with Com Port Control.

Date: February 12, 2007

Labtam is pleased to announce a new software for VPortPro, now Version 2.3. This is the first major release for the 2007 year.

The main utility, the VPortPro Client, is included in the VPortPro package, makes serial (RS232) data from your PC available on TCP/IP-based networks and makes TCP/IP data available on virtual serial ports of your PC (i.e., VPortPro Client can create virtual serial ports on your PC and redirect them to remote TCP/IP ports and vice versa).

The VPortPro Client can also be used to pass serial data across a corporate intranet or over the Internet (using the Telnet protocol (with the features provided by the COM Port Control protocol specified by IETF RFC 2217) and the raw TCP connection protocol as well).

New Features on this release include:

1. Virtual COM Port Driver:
- Implemented the Data Carrier Detect (DCD) virtual serial port "state".

2. COM Port Redirector and COM Port Redirector Service:
- The "SYNC"/"ASYNC" modes are controlled by the new "Record synchronization mode" setting from the "Configure" dialog.
- The DCD virtual serial port "state" is implemented as follows:
a) DCD is Off (as was before this version);
b) DCD is On (Default);
c) DCD is controlled by DTR (as in NULL Modem Cable). Available only in the RFC2217 mode;
d) DCD is turned On when client connects to server, and DCD is turned Off after client disconnects from server.

3. COM Port Redirector Service:
- Improved the log file output;

The following bugs have been fixed:

1. Virtual COM Port Driver:
- Abnormal termination of the executable prevented correct closing of opened Virtual COM-ports.

2. COM Port Redirector and COM Port Redirector Service:
- Executables may crash when the TCP/IP Client is in the Telnet RFC2217 mode;
- Executables may crash when heavy traffic (with very often connect/disconnect events) took place.
- The "Enable Reconnection" left out of account sometimes that prevented reconnection.
