Add COM Port Dialog

Select From List:

This is the easiest way. If you only have several VPorts on LAN, this method is recommended. You need to configure the VPort IP Address and set VPort to "Drvier/Real COM" mode first.

Input Manually:

This is advanced option and suitable for:

  1. VPort is not on LAN/WAN. And now you can't touch the VPort.

  2. VPort is protected by firewall. The data/command port needs to be re-mapping.

  3. You don't use all serial port of the VPort. The part of VPort serial port is controlled by other host.

Data/Command Port:

The VPort TCP Port number. Data channel is used to transfer raw data only and command channel is used to transfer command. VPort driver will use this channel to change VPort serial port setting. In general case, the value starts with 950/966. That is, VPort firmware will listen on 950/966 for 1st serial port, 951/967 for 2nd serial port and so on.

But if you use firewall to protect your host or VPort, the data/command port will be re-mapped to another value for security issue. On this environment, you can select "Input Manually" to tell the driver this different setting.
