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.



      Commands and data  sending  to  the  virtual COM port(s)  will  be 

   redirected to the 7188E/8000E and PDS's COM port(s). 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. The max. COM 

   port number is up to COM256 on Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2K/XP/2003 and Vista 32.
