Ans
: It depends on how many serial ports on the 7188E/8000E and how
many serial ports of 7188E/800E that each PC connected on it.
7188E/8000E
has 32 sockets totally and it reserves some sockets for listening.
7188E/8000E
provides one command port for configuring all data (serial)
ports. Thus, no matter how many data (serial) ports of
7188E/8000E you used, you need one more socket connection for
the command port to configure them.

Note:
- CMD
port = Command port (TCP port 10000)
It's
used to configure all data ports (TCP port 10001 ~ 10008)
of a 7188E/8000E, such as baudrate, data format ... etc.
-
Data
port (TCP port 10001 ~ 10008 whichs are mapped to serial port
1 ~ 8 of 7188E/8000E), it's used to send/receive data only.
-
Listening
Sockets (of 7188E/8000E) = Number of Data ports + 1 CMD port
(VCOM3010.exe reserves 2 more sockets for TELNET and UDP CMD
port listening.)
-
Left
Sockets (of 7188E/8000E) = Max. (32) sockets - Listening sockets
-
Number
of PCs could be connected to one 7188E/8000E with all data
ports used
= Left sockets / [Number of Data ports + 1 CMD port ]
-
Number
of PCs could be connected to one 7188E/8000E with 1 data port
used
= Left sockets / ( 1 Data port + 1 Command port ) = Left sockets
/ 2
