The existing PC software then can interface COM3: as an installed hardware communication port.

Note: after the LIN101 configured it is possible to test it by PING command. In DOS environment use the following

ping 169.254.100.40

5.3 Port Monitor Log

The VSP Monitor Log logs all VSP messages (error, warning, info) about operations regarding virtual COMs
