TCP Server Application with Virtual COM

Virtual COM on host computer allows remote access of serial devices over TCP/IP networks through Serial/IP Virtual COM

ports that work like local native COM ports. Fig.68 is an example of Virtual COM application diagram. There are traditionally only two

Physical COM ports (COM 1 and COM 2) on the personal computer (PC) while there can be several Virtual COM ports such as COM 11,
