- Support for Virtual COM ports (i.e. COM ports redirected through the network);
- Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR);
- Software flow control (XON/XOFF);
- Support for any baudrate;
- Ability to set baudrates, parity, stopbits;
- Full buffered data transfer;
- Text and Binary data transfer;
- Advanced logging.
ActiveXperts Serial Port Component includes samples for many development tools, including:

System Requirements
ActiveXperts Serial Port Component is available as a 32-bit component and as a 64-bit component (both part of the product):
- AxSerial32.dll - 32-bit component;
- AxSerial64.dll - 64-bit component.
ActiveXperts Serial Port Component runs on the following Operating Systems:
- Windows 2012 (64 bit);
- Windows 2008 (32 and 64 bit);
- Windows 2003 (32 and 64 bit);
- Windows 2000 Server and Professional (32 bit only);
- Windows 8 (32 and 64 bit);
- Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit);
- Windows Vista (32 and 64 bit);
- Windows XP (32 and 64 bit).
ActiveXperts Serial Port Component is built on top of the Microsoft serial device drivers. It uses these drivers. It neither replaces them, nor does it install any additional serial device drivers.
It's easy to distribute the Serial Port Component to many PC's. With a valid license it's just a matter of copying the AxSerial32.dll file, or AxSerial64 on a 64bit Windows, and registering it using 'regsvr32'. Regsvr32 is build-in in every supported Windows
environment.
