Adding serial ports to your computer

RoviSys Turbo may connect to CIUMon or your EWS software through a serial line. To do so, RoviSys Turbo and the other program must each have a COM port, and these ports must be connected. In many cases, if RoviSys Turbo and the other program are running on the same computer, they can connect through virtual serial ports rather than real serial ports.

• Instead of using serial ports, CIUMon can connect to RoviSys Turbo using RoviSys Turbo virtual ports.

• On 32-bit platforms, you can connect your EWS software to RoviSys Turbo using virtual serial ports included with DBDOC.

• The included virtual serial ports do not work on 64-bit Windows platforms (including Windows 7). To add serial ports to one of these platforms, use a usb-to-serial converter, or better, use internal serial ports on the motherboard or install a PCI serial card. Alternately, you can use a third-party virtual serial port program.
