Editing Serial Port Settings
Use the Serial Port Settings screen to set the TCP port
numbers that the vNet device will use for serial
communication. The vNet device communicates with the
Veriteq data logger through a serial port.
The serial port is accessed by the client PC using serial port
redirector (virtual COM port) software that communicates
over the Ethernet connection using TCP ports. The vNet
device needs to be configured to use the same TCP port as
the serial port redirector software.
