Can be configured to operate in one of two modes:
•
Virtual Ethernet Port: The RV55 behaves as if the PC were
connected to an Ethernet port, allowing access to the Internet and the
RV55’s internal web server. This is the default setting.
•
Virtual Serial Port: The RV55 behaves as if it was connected to a
standard serial port. The primary use of this interface is for the AT
command line interface of ALEOS and for diagnostic access to the radio
module.
By default, the USB port is configured as a virtual Ethernet port.
•
A Windows driver must be installed on the PC in order to support USB
use. The drivers are available for download on Sierra Wireless’ support
