12, 13, and so on. This section will provide the procedure to enable Virtual COM (VCOM) on Windows based PC. Please follow the

steps described here to configure your Virtual COM application.

1. If the serial device server is running in TCP Server Mode (recommended), the VCOM utility on the host computer should be

configured as the TCP client connecting to the serial device server. The characteristic of this mode is that the IP address of the host

can be changed (usually automatically assigned by the router), and the IP address of the serial server must be fixed.
