Designed with OEM customers in mind, CPR v4 is easily integrated into applications and includes built-in monitoring and diagnostics to simplify troubleshooting. All can be used simultaneously by the applications software. CPR v4 simplifies the process of creating and mapping virtual COM ports, while increasing the number of virtual COM ports that can be created to 255.

It extends remote device management and control via Ethernet to a wider range of applications, such as those that are extremely timing sensitive or require complete serial line control. The fourth generation of Com Port Redirector has been completely redesigned. Com Port Redirector receives the data and presents it to the control application as if it came from a COM port via a local serial connection.Ĭom Port Redirector (CPR) v4 and TruPort® Technology

#Broken redirector software

A device server attached to the network receives the data and transfers it from its own serial port to the attached equipment.Ĭonversely, data sent from the networked equipment to the serial port of the device server is transmitted back to the application software on the PC via Ethernet. Rather than going out the local port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. It redirects application data destined to an attached device via the PC’s local serial (COM) port. Mapping COM Port-based Serial Applications Over EthernetĬom Port Redirector (CPR) is software that maps ‘virtual COM’ ports on a PC platform. That’s where Com Port Redirector comes in. But, the moment the device is placed on an Ethernet network and direct serial connection is broken, the ability of the application software to communicate with the device is lost.

Equipment ranging from POS bar code scanners, to medical equipment, to surveillance cameras, to RFID readers typically use COM Port-based application control software.Īs long as the attached device is within the limited distance reach of the PC, this works great. Serial-based communication is used almost everywhere to access and control devices.

#Broken redirector upgrade

If you aren't looking for an excuse to upgrade your browser, you can simply redefine these links.Īpparently Microsoft decided that there must be a product version parameter (&pver) specified. The bottom line is that Microsoft broke some of the default IE links for users of some older versions of IE. In fact, not only was there no explanation at, there wasn't much available at, although there were discussiions about the problem. I have no official explanation from anybody. You might want to try these links instead:

If it takes you to page titled 'Sorry, we were unable to service your request', then Microsoft hasn't yet fixed the problem. If the above link takes you to the Hotmail home page, either Microsoft has fixed the problem or you were just lucky and happened to get to one of the servers that doesn't have a broken version of redir.dll. Try the following link to test this on your browser: The above message from Microsoft is apparently being sent to large numbers of Internet Explorer users who haven't upgraded from IE 5.5 and earlier versions to IE 6.0.
