Serial Bridging Port Profile
The Digi device supports serial bridging (sometimes referred to as
‘tunneling’). A serial bridge is a network connection between two serial
devices, each of which uses a device server. The serial devices “think” they
are communicating with each other across a serial cable using serial
communication techniques. There is no need to reconfigure the server or
the serial device. Neither is aware of the intervening network.
This profile configures each side of the bridge separately. Repeat the
configuration for the second Digi device using the web interface. Enter the
IP address in the URL bar of your browser and follow the same procedure
of the bridge specifying the IP address of the first Digi device.
Printer Port Profile
The Printer port profile allows you to connect a printer to a serial port. Use
this profile if you intend to print using the LPD protocol on your UNIX
system.
Refer to your UNIX User Guide for tips on configuring the print spooler on
your UNIX system.
