Chapter 4 IA Profiles and Procedures 49
IA protocol. If you plan to use RealPort for COM port redirection, you
simply set up the port for RealPort. If you plan to have the master access
the device server using TCP or UDP sockets, you simply configure the
standard serial port parameters required by the attached slave, such as
line speed, number of data bits, and parity scheme. No special network
configuration is required in either case.
Locating Setup Information
• To set up the device server for RealPort, see "Setting Up COM Port
Redirection" on page 52.
• To set up the port for an “unsupported” IA protocol, see "Configuring
a Serial-Connected Slave: Other IA Protocol" on page 51.
Other Serial Port Protocol Profile: Serial-Connected Master
About This Profile
Use this profile if you want to connect a master device to the serial port
using any IA serial port protocol not previously discussed.
Configuration Options
In this configuration, you do not set up the port of the device server for an
IA protocol. You simply configure the standard serial port parameters
required by the attached master, such as line speed, number of data bits,
and parity scheme and then configure the port for autoconnection.
Locating Setup Information
See "Configuring a Serial-Connected Master: Other IA Protocol" on page
51.
Configuring a Serial-Connected Slave: Generic Procedure
About This Procedure
Use this procedure when a protocol slave is connected to the serial port of
the device server. Use it except when the associated master requires COM
port redirection. (See "Setting Up COM Port Redirection" on page 52 for
information.)
