What is TCP2COM ?

TCP2COM is a software that works as a portmapper between a tcp port and a com port. When running, the software redirects all I/O of a given com port to a tcp port.
The program can run as a NT service or in user environment (main purpose is for testing !)

Requirements

Windows NT family : NT4, 2000, XP or 2003.
Winsock DLL 2.2 or higher.

Practical use of software

The best application for using the software is for linking 2 servers (A and B) through com ports with a laplink cable. It allows you to control the reboot of server A using server B (B can be reached through the network).

Command line arguments

tcp2com --install tcp/ [port] com [num] : Installs NT service that maps specified tcp and com ports.
tcp2com --remove tcp2com- [num] : Removes the NT service mapping specified by number.
tcp2com --test tcp/ [port] com[com_port] : Runs the program in current user environment by mapping specified tcp and com ports
tcp2com --help : Displays help screen

Examples :
tcp2com --install tcp/12345 com1 [Allows you to access COM1 from TCP port 12345]
tcp2com --remove tcp2com-1 [Removes mapping that uses COM1]
