Configuration and virtual COM port Software 

 
 

To be able to create a serial COM port on your computer which the XS1200 can connect through, you 
need to use a Virtual COM software.  
You can use the XS1200 Configuration/VCOM software to create a virtual COM port or you can use 
almost any other type of virtual COM port software such USC-VCOM (free downloadable from 

U

U

), PortShare or Fabulatech. Please contact our tech support if you have questions 

regarding VCOM software.  
 
Download the most recent version of the virtual COM port software called AXR2E from 

U

U

. Unzip the downloaded folder and install the software.  

 

After installing the “AXR2E_Configuration_Utility_Setup” file (either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit 
version) you can start the software. 

U

Make sure to start the software as Administrator

U

, otherwise you 

might not be able to create COM port successfully. You start the software as Administrator by finding the 
“AXR2E Configuration Utility” in the Windows start menu, right-click and select “More”, then click “Start as 
Administrator”. 
  
If your computer has more than one network connection you need to select the wireless network which is 
in the same subnet as the XS1200: 
 

 

 
Use the up/down arrows to scroll through the IPs if there are more than two IPs. 
 
Click the “IP Search” button once the software is open and enter the XS1200’s IP address as shown 
below:
