Using RealPort

Chapter 8: Using RealPort

RealPort is a COM port redirector program that allows you to add and remove virtual COM ports on your PC and update the RealPort software.

Virtual COM ports allow you to set up a connection between your PC and the device connected to the serial port on your PES1A/PESV1A via an Ethernet network connection using TCP/IP. If you will be using virtual COM ports (configuring your serial port with the RealPort profile) you must use RealPort to configure those ports on your PC. Once you have configured a new virtual COM (VCOM) port using RealPort, application software can communicate through that COM port as if it is located within the PC.

There are three steps to setting up a virtual COM port with RealPort.

1.Configure the PES1A/PESV1A with an IP address

2.Configure the PES1A/PESV1A serial port for RealPort (VCOM) mode

3.Configure the port itself using RealPort

Configuring the IP Address

See Chapter 3, Configuring the IP Address
