This  digital  I/O 

Adapter

  can  work  in  ether  Straight  IP  mode  or  Virtual 

COM  Port  mode.  The  Straight  IP  mode  will  be  accessed  through  its 
TCP/IP  socket  port  directly.  The  Virtual  COM  Port  mode  allows  it 
treated  as  a  COM  port  by  installing  the  CentosSEC  Virtual  COM  Port 
driver. 

The 

Virtual  COM  Port

  software,  CentosSEC,  is  an  advanced  software 

to map your serial port devices (COM ports) to Ethernet so they could 
be accessed from anywhere in the world (via Internet or LAN) as if it is 
attached  directly  to  the  remote  PC.  When  the  attached  serial  port 
device  (or  digital  I/O 

Adapter

)  sends  communication  data  it  is 

actually transmitted over TCP/IP network and back from the network 
to your device. 

After  installed,  the  driver  allows  Windows  platform  software,  using 
standard API calls, to be used in an Ethernet application.
