INSTALLING AND USING THE AIRBORNE VIRTUALCOM DRIVER
B+B SmartWorx includes a virtual COM port device driver for the Microsoft Windows operating system with
its serial devices. This driver acts as a Virtual COM port for applications requiring the use of a COM port
for data communication. The driver redirects serial data to a TCP/IP connection between the host
computer and target Airborne™ device.
Installation of the VCOM driver is done using the Airborne Management Center™ (AMC). The following
table identifies the steps to install the VCOM driver for a specific device. Once installed, the host system
will have additional COM ports by which the system may communicate with the device attached to the
serial port on the Airborne™ device.
