DF1 Profile: Serial-Connected Slave
When to Use
Use this profile to connect a slave device (or devices if multiple slaves are
connected) using DF1 Full-Duplex and DF1 Half-Duplex protocols.
Configuration Options
The serial port connection must be configured for the protocol required by
the slave, in this case DF1 Full-Duplex or DF1 Half-Duplex.
The network connection usually does not require configuration. The only
exception is if the master requires COM port redirection. In this case, the
master is an application that resides on a PC, such as a Microsoft Windows
system, and communicates only with devices on COM ports.
Setup Information
• To configure the serial port of the device server for DF1 Full-Duplex or
DF1 Half-Duplex, see "Configure a Serial-Connected Slave: Generic
Procedure" on page 66.
• To set up a PC and the device server for COM port redirection using
RealPort, see "Set Up COM Port Redirection" on page 69.
