6 Installing Virtual Com Port

The Virtual COM Port software enables Windows-based applications to use the serial port on the DSE-410D Server as a COM port or to use standard Windows API calls for COM port access.

Running the Install Virtual COM port software adds a DSE-410D (COM#) port to the computer that shows up in the Device Manager. The COM number can be selected from a list of available numbers.

For example, in a computer already having a COM1 and COM2, COM3 to COM 254 are available for the DSE-410D. The virtual COM port looks like a standard COM port to most Windows-based applications, which allows the software to open a connection with the serial port located anywhere on the LAN. When using the virtual COM port, the DSE-410D is configured as a TCP or UDP Server.

1.Select Install Virtual COM from your Programs list next to the DSE-410D Manager (Start/Programs/Quatech/SDS/DSE-410D/Install Virtual Com).
