Setup and Connections
When a program on the PC opens the new COM port, it communicates
directly with the remote serial device connected to the serial server.
To set up a Virtual COM Port Mode connection:
1.
Connect the serial server to the network and a serial device as described
in previous sections.
2.
Configure the serial server for VCOM operation (using Vlinx Manager).
3.
Configure your software application to communicate via the virtual
COM port.
Using VESR9xx Serial Servers in Paired Mode

serial devices via their serial ports) are connected to the network. The serial
devices communicate directly, transferring data between devices as a point-
to-point serial connection. Paired Mode set up as shown in the following
diagram and configured using Vlinx Manager software or web interface.
