Features
"VxComm" stands for "Virtual Communications Ports". The VxComm Driver creates COM ports and maps them to the Ethernet ports of the ICP DAS Serial to Ethernet Gateways. 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 ICP DAS Serial to Ethernet Gateways.
Search Servers
VxComm Utility can search the 7188E/PDS on local network (via UDP protocol).
Note: The firmware of 7188E/PDS should be v3.2.30[2/20/2008] or later.
Server Configuration in UDP
The TCP/IP function of 7188E/PDS may not work when its network settings are not correct. If so, user still can use the ¡§Configure Server (UDP)¡¨ function of VxComm Utility to modify the network settings of 7188E/PDS on local network instead of using RS-232 for configuration.
Ping Server
The VxComm Utility can ping the 7188E/PDS by calling ping.exe that built-in Windows. The 7188E/PDS should be no network setting problem if it response to ping successfully. This function can also be used to test if the IP is already occupied by another device.
Compatible with Windows XP SP2 Built-In Firewall

User can assign a range of IP addresses to different I-7188E/PDS Servers in the VxComm Utility. The virtual COM ports mapping can also be created when adding servers. The function can connect to the I-7188E/PDS and get server name automatically. The Add Single Server function in the old utility is replaced by the new
Users can set the PC side Server-Options in the Advanced Options page. Settings include Connection-Broken Time, Keep-Alive Time, Connect Timeout, Command Port (TCP) and Virtual I/O Port (TCP).
