The RLXIC-SG is equipped with a USB port which increases the methods by
which you can send and receive data. The USB port can be set to work as either
an Ethernet port or a virtual serial port. A driver installation is required to use the
USB port in either mode.
Note: It is recommended that you use a USB 2.0 cable with your RLXIC-SG and connect directly to
your computer for best throughput.
6.1 Changing the USB port communication
The command to change the port configuration is *USBDEVICE, and it is in the
USB group of AceManager.
By default, the port is set to work as a virtual Ethernet port (*USBDEVICE=1).
To change the USB port to allow virtual serial port communication, disable the
Ethernet port emulation, set *USBDEVICE to 0.
Note: If you use a terminal connection with the USB port to change *USBDEVICE, the change is
immediate. Your connection will be terminated after inputting the command.
