5.1  Enabling VCOM 

SC10E16A1  Series  will  encapsulate  control  packets  on  top  of  the  real  data  when  Virtual  COM  is 

enabled.  This  will  allow  the  Virtual  COM  port  in  the  Windows/Linux  system  to  access  SC10E16A1 

Series’ COM ports. Remember that VCOM can only be enabled on TCP Server Mode or TCP Client,
