3.5 Operation Mode Configuration
3.5.1 Virtual COM Mode
The Advantech serial device servers extend traditional COM ports of a PC to Ether-
net access. Through Ethernet networking, users can control and monitor remote
serial devices and equipment over LAN or WAN.
Advantech serial device servers come with a COM port redirector (Virtual COM
driver) that transmits all serial signals intact. This means that your existing COM-
based software can be preserved, without modifying to fulfill the needs. The Virtual
COM mode allows user to continue using serial communications software that was
written for pure serial communication applications.
The device comes with COM port redirector (virtual COM driver) that works. The
driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial device by map-
ping the IP of Advantech serial device server serial port to a local COM port on the
host computer.
The device provides Multi-access function through Ethernet connection path. Allow
the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial port simultaneously. In this mode,
all connection has to use the same serial setting. If one serial setting of these con-
nections is different from others, the data communication may operate incorrectly.
