HW VSP settings
TEA Key pane
You can use TEA authentication to secure TCP/IP access. The
same TEA key must be set and enabled at both sides of the
communication.
NVT pane
Enables RFC2217 and detection of our remote ports. Remember
to activate NVT support on the remote device as well.
∂
NVT filter
– Filters out NVT control characters from the data flow.
∂
NVT port setup
– Configures the remote port parameters via control
commands to match the VSP in your PC. For example, if your
terminal program (e.g. Hyperterminal) changes the baudrate to 19200
Bd and this box is checked, the VSP driver sends a NVT command
(according to the RFC 2217 standard) to change the baudrate of the
remote TCP/IP serial port.
∂
Keep Connection
– Keeps the TCP/IP connection open even after
50 seconds of inactivity.
Main HW VSP parameters
∂
Log enabled
The VSP driver logs the virtual serial port activity to “
C:\serialport.log
”.
∂
TCP server mode
Activates VSP as a TCP/IP server. The driver then behaves as a TCP Client/Server device –
the first side to receive any data switches to Client mode and establishes the connection.
The incoming TCP server port is configured at the main “
Virtual SP
” tab. We recommend
using port numbers higher than 1025.
∂
Create port on start VSP
Automatically creates virtual ports when the driver is started. To create virtual ports at
Windows startup, the “Start VSP on boot” box must be checked, too.
∂
Hide on startup
Hides VSP to to the system tray. The VSP icon is accessible near the clock.
∂
Don't create port if ping fail
Before creating the virtual serial port, tests if the device IP address responds.
∂
Connect to module if port is closed
If the virtual serial port is not in use by any application, checking this box can lead to losing
some received data from the remote device.
∂
Start VSP on boot
Inserts the VSP path to the RUN key
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\run) in the
Windows registry. VSP is then started every time Windows starts.
