Setting COM Port Redirector
Advantech COM port mapping software is a serial COM port redirector that creates
virtual COM ports and provides access to serial devices connected to an Advantech
serial device servers. Your serial device applications can communicate with serial
devices connected to the Advantech serial device servers without software changes.
Since the virtual COM ports work like standard Windows COM ports, your application
software sees no difference between a local serial device and one connected to an
Advantech serial device server.
The COM redirector utility and the virtual COM port management utility are integrated
into one utility with same GUI. The Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration
Utility can create all Virtual COM ports using the Auto Mapping function or by using
the manual mapping function.
