RealPort Profile
The RealPort Profile allows you to configure your device to create a virtual
COM port on your PC. This is also known as COM Port Redirection. The
PC applications send data to this virtual COM port and RealPort sends the
data across the network to the Digi device server. The data is routed to the
serial device connected to the Digi device server’s serial port. The network
is transparent to both the application and the serial device.
Note: RealPort software (from the Software and Documentation CD) must be
installed and configured on each PC that will use RealPort ports. Enter the IP
address of the Digi device server and the RealPort TCP port number 771. See
"Setting Up RealPort (COM Port Redirection)" on page 15 for more
information.
