Aleos Software - Sierra Wireless AirLink ES Series Hardware User's Manual

Rev 4 Aug.15
When connected to a PC, the USB port becomes either a:
· Virtual serial port (The ES Series device behaves as if the PC is connected
to a standard serial port. The primary use of this interface is to send AT
commands.)
· Virtual Ethernet port (The ES Series device behaves as if the PC is
connected to an Ethernet port, allowing access to the Internet and
ACEmanager. This is the default setting.)
Refer to the ALEOS Software Configuration User Guide for information on
configuring the USB port. Windows drivers for the USB port are available at
Sierra Wireless' download web site: source.sierrawireless.com.
When using the USB port:
· Use a USB 2.0 cable
· Connect directly to your computer for best throughput
