Setting Up the Serial Port(s)

Setting Up the Serial Port(s)

The DeviceManager and WebManager have the following serial port profiles that will simplify serial port setup:

zConsole Management—The Console Management profile configures a serial port to provide network access to a console or administrative port. This profile sets up a serial port to support a TCP socket that listens for a Telnet connection from the network.

zTruePort—The TruePort profile configures a serial port to connect network servers or workstations running the TruePort software to a serial device as a virtual COM port. This profile is ideal for connecting multiple serial ports to a network system or server.

zTCP Sockets—The TCP Sockets profile configures a serial port to allow a serial device to communicate over a TCP network. The TCP connection can be configured to be initiated from the network, a serial device connected to the serial port, or both. This is sometimes referred to as a raw connection or a TCP raw connection.

zUDP Sockets—The UDP Sockets profile configures a serial port to allow communication between the network and serial devices connected to the IOLAN using the UDP protocol.

zTerminal—The Terminal profile configures a serial port to allow network access from a terminal connected to the IOLAN’s serial port. This profile is used to access predefined hosts on the network from the terminal.

zSerial Tunneling—The Serial Tunneling profile configures a serial port to establish a virtual link over the network to a serial port on another IOLAN. Both IOLAN serial ports must be configured for Serial Tunneling (typically one serial port is configured as a Tunnel Server and the other serial port as a Tunnel Client).

zVirtual Modem—The Virtual Modem (Vmodem) profile configures a serial port to simulate a modem. When the serial device connected to the IOLAN initiates a modem connection, the IOLAN starts up a TCP connection to another IOLAN configured with a Virtual Modem serial port or to a host running a TCP application.
