J-2 iPORT Overview

The iPORT is a COM port redirecting software. Its function is to redirect connections that are destined for a local serial (COM) port on a PC, to an iServer network- enabling device on the LAN.

In a direct serial connection, application software can communicate directly over an RS232 or RS485 with a serial device (Figure J-1).

Figure J-1 Direct Serial Connection

By installing iPORT software on the same PC, the iPORT will redirect the serial connection from the COM port to the network port on that PC. The connection can simply reach the serial device through an iServer sitting anywhere on an Ethernet network (Figure J-2).
