4.1 Setting COM Redirector(Virtual COM port)
Advantech COM port mapping software is a serial COM port redirector that creates
virtual COM ports and provides access to serial devices connected to Advantech
serial device servers. Your serial device applications can communicate with serial
devices connected to Advantech serial device servers without software changes.
Since the virtual COM ports work like standard Windows COM ports, your application
software sees no difference between a local serial device and one connected to a
Advantech serial device server.
COM redirector utility and Virtual COM port Management utility are integrated into
one utility with same GUI. Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility can
create all Virtual COM ports using “Auto Mapping” function. You can map the Virtual
COM port by yourself.
4.1.1 Auto Mapping
Right click the serial device name on the sub-tree of Device Server List area and
select the “Auto Mapping” function.
The serial ports that can be assigned to virtual COM will be shown in this window.
Select the serial ports you wish to map or click the <Select All> button and press
<Map Selected Ports> button. The selected serial ports will be mapped to virtual
COM ports in sequential order.
