Setting/Starting/Ending Transparent Communication

Transparent communication is a serial port communication method used to link a PC and a device/server for control and data acquisition through a target panel, as shown below. The target panel in the link is just like a transparent device that makes the communication work as if a PC is connected to the device/server directly.
