TruePort Profile

Overview

TruePort is especially useful when you want to improve data security, as you can enable an SSL/TLS connection between the TruePort host port and the IOLAN. TruePort is COM Port redirector that is supplied with the IOLAN. TruePort can be installed as a client on a Workstation or Server and supports a variety of operating systems. It, in conjunction with the IOLAN, emulates a local serial port (COM port), to the application, to provide connectivity to a remote serial device over the network. The TruePort profile operates in conjunction with the TruePort software.

Functionality

TruePort is a COM port redirector utility for the IOLAN. It can be run in two modes (these modes will be set on the client software when it is configured):

zTruePort Full mode—This mode allows complete device control and operates as if the device was directly connected to the Workstation/Server’s local serial port. It provides a complete COM port interface between the attached serial device and the network. All serial controls, baud rate control, etc., are sent to the IOLAN and replicated on its associated serial port.

zTruePort Lite mode—This mode provides a simple raw data interface between the application and the remote serial port. Although the port will still operate as a COM port, control signals are ignored. In this mode, the serial communications parameters must be configured on the IOLAN.

See the TruePort User’s Guide for more details about the TruePort client software.
