4.4.4 Virtual COM Mode
When the ICS-210x be configured to Virtual COM mode, it allows Serial device that connected to serial port of ICS-210x to
establish TCP communication over Intranet or Internet network between Remote Host (Computer). The Virtual COM Port
driver has to be installed at the Remote Host. Users can send data by Virtual COM port, and Virtual COM port will transfer
data to Ethernet by windows socket. The Virtual COM driver maps IP Address / Port of ICS-210x to a local COM port on the
Remote Host (Computer). Once the Virtual COM connection is established, the applications work as the serial device is direct
connected to the Remote Host’s real COM port. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directions.
With connect to ICS-210x Serial over Fast Ethernet Converter, the serial devices are not limited to physical connection to the
PC/Remote Host COM port and able to be extension over longer distance. The parameter defines the maintenance status for
the Virtual COM .
