Unfortunately, direct implementation in Magic RDS is not possible at the moment. I recommend choosing the virtual port method I suggested earlier.
Since the old program does not support TCP or UDP, use the com0com utility according to this procedure:
To allow communication between Magic RDS and third-party software that supports only serial (COM) ports, you can use a virtual serial port pair (also known as a "virtual null-modem cable").
I recommend using the free utility com0com, which creates two interconnected virtual COM ports.
Setup procedure:
Download and install the com0com package from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/com0com/After installation, open the setup command prompt (included with com0com) or use the graphical setup if available.
Create a virtual port pair. For example:
COM10
COM11
These two ports are internally connected – any data sent to COM10 will appear on COM11 and vice versa.
Configure the third-party application to use one port (e.g. COM10).
Configure Magic RDS application (Virtual Port) to use the other port (e.g. COM11).
Notes:
Both ports behave like standard hardware serial ports.
Baud rate and other serial settings should match on both sides.
If a port number is already in use, choose a different one.
Administrator privileges may be required during installation.
