Controlling a Machine using the Com Port Redirector
The Com Port Redirector allows any PC running Windows to use ports on a
network server as if they were connected directly to the PC. The Redirector
creates a virtual COM port within Windows, which for most purposes acts
just like the selected serial port on the server.

1. Perform the appropriate step to start the installation:
If the Com Port Redirector is on a CD-ROM, insert the CD-ROM
into the computer’ s CD-ROM drive
If you downloaded the Com Port Redirector, double-click the
downloaded file
