The Virtual COM mode requires the installation of a virtual COM port device driver. In this mode, 

the TRP-C36 must be set to either TCP/server or UDP/server in the menu with a designated 

communication port number.   

   

The virtual COM driver is a TCP or UDP client. Once the connection is made, the LAN is 

transparent to the serial device. Applications work just as if the serial device is connected a 

host’s physical COM port. The virtual COM port converts the application’s data into IP packet 

destined for the TRP-C36, which in turn converts the IP packet back to serial data. Point # 9 will 

guide you setup Virtual COM mode.   

8.3 Direct IP Mode mode

 

Direct IP connections allow applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP network socket programs to 

communicate with the asynchronous serial port on the TRP-C36. In this type of application the 

TRP-C36 is configured to TCP or UDP server. The socket program running on the PC 

establishes a communication connection with the TRP-C36. The raw data is sent directly to and 

from the serial port. 

 

“TRPCOM Test Utility”

 is demo utility which may help to test direct IP Mode .User may find 

the utility in the TRP-C36 disk. Double click “Trycom Utility”, the installShield Wizard will guide 
you complete installation. 

 

 

9. About Virtual COM 

User can find the virtual COM software in TRP-C36 disk.
