3.4.2Setting Virtual COM Operating Mode Parameters

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 RS-232/422/485 serial communications software that was written for pure serial com- munication applications.

EKI-1351/1352 comes with COM port redirector (virtual COM driver) that work with Window NT/2000/XP/Vista(X86) systems. The driver establishes a transparent con- nection between host and serial device by mapping the IP of Advantech serial device server serial port to a local COM port on the host computer.
