Introduction

This chapter provides information on the TruePort and Decoder utilities.

TruePort

TruePort is a com port redirector utilit y for the IOLAN. It can be run in two modes:

zTruePort Full mode—This mode allows complete devi ce control and operates exactly like a

directly connected serial port. It provides a complete COM port interface between the attached

serial device and the network.

zTruePort Lite mode—This mode provides a simple raw data interface between the device and

the network. Although the port will still operate as a COM port, control signals are ignored. In

this mode, the serial communications parameters must be config u red on th e IOL AN.

You use TruePort when you want to connect extra terminals to a server using the IOLAN rather than

a multi-port serial card. TruePort is especially useful when yo u want to improve data security, as you

can enable an SSL/TLS connection between the TruePort host port and the IOLAN. When run on

UNIX, TruePort allows you to print directl y from a terminal to an attached printer (transparent

printing). You can also remap the slow baud rate of your UNIX server to a faster baud rate, as shown

below.

Currently, TruePort is supported on Linux, Wi ndows, SCO, Solaris, and others. For a complete list of

of supported operating systems, see the Perle website.

For more information, see the TruePort User Guide or the TruePort In stallation and Configuration

Guide for Wi ndows NT on the CD-ROM.
