Share modems on Windows server out to TCP/IP network
TacServe includes the DialOut/EZ Redirector
You add virtual COM ports on the application computer, using the DialOut/EZ Control Panel. You configure these virtual COM ports to use the Windows-based server that runs the TacServe software.
Your application uses DialOut/EZ virtual COM ports instead of local physical COM ports. If your application uses Windows modem devices, you can create them on DialOut/EZ virtual COM ports.
Your application opens, reads and writes virtual COM ports using the standard COM port API.
The DialOut/EZ Redirector automatically makes a TCP/IP connection to TacServe and relays the virtual COM port data stream and control actions.
   
On the Windows-based PC running TacServe
TacServe receives a TCP/IP connection from the DialOut/EZ redirector when a virtual COM port is opened.
The TacServe COM Port Server automatically allocates an available modem for each DialOut/EZ connection, using your settings in the TacServe Control Panel.
TacServe converts the data stream and control signals and relays them to the modem.
The modem initiates a modem call on the PSTN. When building this machine, you add modem boards with a total capacity for your application needs. For servers with more than 8 modems, digital modems and PRI (T1/E1) lines are commonly used.
