4.1 Setting COM Redirector (Virtual COM port)
Advantech COM port mapping software is a serial COM port redirector that creates
virtual COM ports and provides access to serial devices connected to Advantech
serial device servers. Your serial device applications can communicate with serial
devices connected to Advantech serial device servers without software changes.
Since the virtual COM ports work like standard Windows COM ports, your application
software sees no difference between a local serial device and one connected to a
Advantech serial device server.
The COM redirector utility and Virtual COM port Management utility are integrated
into one utility with same GUI. Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility
can create all Virtual COM ports using “Auto Mapping” function. You can map the Vir-
tual COM port by yourself.
4.1.1 Auto Mapping
Right click the serial device name on the sub-tree of Device Server List area and
select the “Auto Mapping” function.
