When to Use
Use these procedures when a slave is connected to the serial port of the
device server and the master, which must be an application residing on a
Microsoft Windows system, requires COM port redirection.

running on the same PC as the master application--complete the following
tasks:
1. Configure the serial port for RealPort.
See "Procedure: Configure the Serial Port for RealPort" on page 70.
2. Install RealPort software on a host system.
3. Configure the port on the RealPort PC.
