The first serial port on a DirectICA station is a dedicated mouse port, but the second serial port is a system-wide device with the designation dcomx, where x is the DirectICA station number. This port can be used with a serial printer, modem, or any general serial communications device.

Serial port support is manufacturer-dependent and not a function of the DirectICA software. At present, only Maxspeed MaxStations support using these ports with DirectICA for MetaFrame.

The serial port specifications are as follows:

uMaximum baud rate: 38400

uHandshaking: XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS
