Use "telnet" to Check the Serial Server

Type the telnet command from the DOS prompt to establish a connection to one of the ports on the server. This,
in turn, opens a Telnet window session.

Note: You can run the telnet command from a DOS prompt, or by using the Run command in the Start menu. If
your server has a name on your network, you may be able to use the server´s name instead of the numeric
address.

Verify the Creation of Serial/IP COM Ports in Windows

If you are running Windows 98, Me or NT, you can verify the presence of the virtual COM ports created by the
Serial/IP Redirector from any system port list. Use the following procedure:

1. Run System in the Windows Control Panel.

2. Select the Device Manager tab.

3. Expand the Ports (COM & LPT) entry.

4. Entries should appear corresponding to those checked in the Select Ports window.

Note: Windows XP/2000/2003 will not show the ports in this way, but the ports will be available as choices
when installing modems or other devices (excepting printers).
