User Manual v1.0 CR5201B/SE5201B 5.2.4 TCP Client Application: Enable RFC 2217 through Virtual COM The underlying protocol of Virtual COM is based on RFC 2217 which is the Telnet COM Control Option. Therefore, it is possible to use RFC 2217 with SE5201B in the TCP Client mode. Note that the RFC 2217 allows a client, which is SE5201B in this case, to initiates a Telnet session to a remote host computer to communicate with serial device or serial (COM) program on the remote host computer. -
