4. USING VIRTUAL COM

Virtual COM driver mode for windows converts COM data to LAN data for control of the COM port on

SE5002 via LAN. By creating virtual COM ports on the PC, the Virtual COM driver redirects the

communications from the virtual COM ports to an IP address and port number on a SE5002 that connects

the serial line device to the network. Fig. 35 illustrates a Virtual COM connection diagram.
