There are other packages available that create virtual comport pairs such as one from Eltima ($$) and VSPE. If you wish to connect a hardware device to your system such as an antenna tuner that supports the, just plug it into an available serial port on your computer and enter that comport number in one of the AUX/CAT ports. This has effectively connected the two products together via a null modem cable.
The others are currently to other virtual port pairs.Īll you need to do now is save the settings and then configure your third party product to connect to comport 16 which is the second comport of the COM17-COM16 pair. In this example, AUX/CAT Port 1 is connected to comport 17. Each one can connect to a comport of a virtual comport pair. In this screen there are 6 AUX/CAT ports. Once the comport pair is created, start up Win4IcomSuite and select Tools, Settings, and the 3rd Party SW/HW tab. In the above I created several pairs Please note that many older software packages may not know about comports with numbers higher than COM9. You can just click on the names and change the names of the comports to a comport name that does not exist on your system. There will be by default one pair already defined with weird letter names.
Many of them DO NOT work correctly.Īfter you install this, open the Windows start menu and in the com0com folder run “Setup.” (Don’t run Setup Command line). If you do this, contact support for how to fix the errors (for those in the know, use the device manager and delete the driver file, then reinstall).ĭo not use other products. If you download a newer version that is NOT signed you will have many errors even if you uninstall it and then try to install this version. The recommended utility which is free, is COM0COM which is open source and available at:īe sure to use the signed version for your operating system. In order to use this feature you will need to download a third party utility that provides virtual serial port pairs that act as cables between two software products in Windows. These ports provide an interface that for all purposes look just like an Icom to the third party product.
Win4IcomSuite supports many third party products by providing 6 auxiliary ports that accept CI-V commands.
