Virtual COM application in SE5416A Series.
Scroll to the bottom of the page and
click on “Save Configuration” button to save the
changes.
Configure Virtual COM in the Operating System. For Windows, refer to
Chapter 8
. For
Linux, refer to a separate manual included in the Linux driver zip file. Remember the
Destination Port here in order to enter this information in Serial/IP Virtual COM’s Control
Panel later.
7.2.4 TCP Client Application: Enable RFC 2217
The underlying protocol of Virtual COM is based on RFC 2217, the Telnet COM Control Option.
Therefore, it is possible to use RFC 2217 with SE5416A Series in the TCP Client mode. To do
so, refer to
Sec. 7.2.3
to enable Virtual COM, so that SE5416A Series becomes aware of the
commands. Note that there is no need to configure Virtual COM on the Operating System
because Virtual COM ports would not be used.
7.2.5 TCP Server Application: Configure SE5416A Series as a Pair
Connection Master
Pair Connection is useful when pairing up two serial devices over the Ethernet or when it is
impossible to install Virtual COM in the serial device. Pair connection does require two
SE5416A Series to work in pair, one would be the Pair Connection Master and the other would
be the Pair Connection Slave.
