Console Server

Console Server is a Command Line application that was designed to help advanced computer users access remote COM ports remotely in the same way they do on their local computers by using other software solutions such as HyperTerminal.

The operation principle used by this application is that it starts a server and enables users to connect to the computer Console Server runs on and work with COM ports remotely once the connection has been established.

The archive this program comes packed in contains a series of documents aside from the server executable. These documents can be configured so that certain data such as serial ports and IP addresses can be pulled directly from them.

Upon connection via telnet to the server, a series of commands are printed on the screen, in order to help users familiarize themselves with its features quicker. For instance, users can append the "?" symbol to show the help section, use the "update" command to update ports information from the file, type "info" to show port-related information, use "open" and "close" arguments to open and close ports, and even toggle ECHO mode on or off by typing echo in the console.
