Figure 4.4 Serial/IP configuration

At the right side of Figure 4.4 is a sample

Control Panel window. At the left side is the list of the COM

ports that you have selected (in the Select Ports window) for use by the

Virtual COM

Redirector. If you wish to

change which ports appear in this list, use the Select Ports button.

Each COM port has its own settings. When you click on a COM port, the Control Panel display changes to reflect

NOTE: When you change settings for a COM port, the changes are effective immediately. There is no separate
confirmation dialog to confirm or cancel your changes.

1. Select a COM port in the list.

2. For IP Address of Server, enter a numeric IP address for the serial server.

3. For Port Number, enter the TCP port number that the serial server uses to provide its serial ports to the

network.

4. For Server Credentials, the default is No Login Required. If your serial server does require a login by

the Virtual COM Redirector, the Virtual COM Redirector needs to provide a username and/or password
every time an application tries to use the serial server.

5. Click the Configuration Wizard button and then click the Start button that appears in the wizard window.
