Using Raw TCP
The serial port on the vNet device can also be accessed
using generic third-party Ethernet-to-serial port redirector
software. These applications can send and receive data
using the Raw TCP port number.
The factory default setting is 9761.
When using the serial port in Raw mode, the client PC can
only send and receive data. There is no access to serial port
settings such as baud rate or control lines (the serial port is
automatically set to 19200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity bit, one
stop bit).
