Remote Desktop Serial Port is software used to redirect local serial ports to remote desktop sessions.

Therefore, any serial device plugged into a hardware COM port on a local PC can be accessed in a remote Windows session, just like directly plugging into a remote desktop.

working principle

The software consists of two parts. The workstation section will be installed on the local computer where the serial device is physically plugged into the local COM port. The server part is transferred to the remote end.

Remote Desktop Serial Port Create a virtual serial port in a remote desktop session. Therefore, third-party applications can use these ports to communicate with traditional serial devices such as serial printers, scanners, and card readers. Any third-party application in a remote desktop session can access virtual COM ports, open them, and exchange data, just like on a physical machine.

Real simulation of remote serial ports

Virtual COM ports fully simulate the behavior of hardware COM ports, so any serial communication application can use virtual COM ports as if they were hardware COM ports.

redirect automatically

The serial port can be configured for automatic redirection. In this case, each time a user logs in to a remote session, these COM ports will automatically connect without manual intervention.

Remote Desktop Protocol in Different Environments

The remote desktop serial port supports different remote desktop protocols, including Microsoft RDP, Teradici PCoIP, and Citrix ICA. What environment to use (Remote Desktop Services, Hyper-V, Microsoft Azure, Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops, VMware Horizon, Amazon Workspaces, etc.) is not important. Any compatible client software can be used to access the remote end. And there is no need to change firewall settings.

Support for Linux

If you are looking for an equally simple Linux solution, then you have already found it. FabulaTech provides you with a serial port for remote desktop Linux versions. It runs perfectly in most Linux operating system distributions.

The Linux version of the remote desktop serial port includes for FreeRDP, Citrix Workspace app, VMware Horizon, Teradici PCoIP, and Amazon WorkSpaces.

Azure Virtual Desktop Compatibility

The remote desktop serial port and other FabulaTech solutions are fully compatible with Azure virtual desktops and can access local serial devices from applications running on Windows virtual desktops.

Dual hop session support

You can connect to remote server A from the workstation. Then initiate a connection to another server A session from server B, and access the device on server B without any additional configuration.
