Port Profiles

Each port profile determines the settings needed. The following screenshots of each profile show the port settings. For a complete description of each profile click the Help button.

RealPort

Installed on a network-based PC, RealPort emulates a serial port. That is, the application “thinks” it is working with a real serial port, such as COM1. When the application sends data to this serial port, RealPort ships the data across the network to the device server which in turn routes it to the serial device. This is also referred to as COM Port Redirection. The network is transparent to both the application and the device.

Console Management

Access a device's console port over a network connection. Most network devices such as routers, switches, and servers offer serial port(s) for management. Instead of connecting a terminal to the console port, cable the console port to the serial port of your Digi device. Then using TCP/IP utilities like reverse telnet, network administrators can access these consoled serial ports from the LAN.
