Virtual COM Mode
The EKI-1500 serial device server extends traditional COM ports of a PC to Ethernet
access. Through Ethernet networking, users can control and monitor remote serial
devices and equipments over LAN or WAN. The EKI-1500 series comes with a COM
port redirector (Virtual COM driver) that transmits all serial signals intact. This means
that your existing COM-based software can be preserved, without modifying to fulfill
the needs. The Virtual COM mode allows user to continue using RS-232/422/485
serial communications software that was written for pure serial communication appli-
cations.

The EKI-1500 series comes with COM port redirector (virtual COM driver) that work
with Window 2000/XP/Vista(X86) systems. The driver establishes a transparent con-

The EKI-1500 series provides Multi-access function through Ethernet connection
path. Allow the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial port simultaneously. In
this mode, all connection has to use the same serial setting. If one serial setting of
these connections is different from others, the data communication may operate
incorrectly.

Host Idle Timeout
The "Host Idle Timeout" setting monitors the connection between the host and the
device. If the "Host Idle Timeout" setting time is reached, the device server will
release the resources allocated to the port mapping. This prevents a stalled host from
affecting the connective device.
