B. Introduction The VxComm Driver is designed for 7188E/8000E/DS-700/PDS-700 and PDS-8000 series Programmable Device Server (Internet/Ethernet Controller). It creates virtual COM port(s) under Microsoft Windows 95/OSR2, 98/SE, ME, NT4, 2K/XP/2003 and Vista 32 platform and maps them to the Ethernet port of 7188E/8000E and PDS.

And the recieved data from 7188E/8000E and PDS's COM port(s) will also be redirected to PC's virtual COM port(s). The user's RS-232 client programs need only to change to the different COM port to get the access of serial devices that are allocated in the Internet or Ethernet network via the 7188E/8000E and PDS. The VxComm Utility is the configuration program for the VxComm Driver. Users can use the utility program to assign the IP address of 7188E/8000E/PDS, and assign it's COM port number on the PC.
