Configuring the Digi Connect Devices
 Custom: An advanced option to allow full configuration of the serial port. This
profile allows you to view all settings associated with the serial port.
RealPort Profile
The RealPort Profile allows you to configure your device to create a virtual COM port on
your PC, known as COM Port Redirection. (Not supported in Digi Connect WAN.) 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 (not supported in Digi Connect WAN).
@@@ 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.
Console Management Profile
The Console Management Profile allows access to a device's console port over a network
connection. Most network devices such as routers, switches, and servers offer serial
port(s) for management. Instead of connecting a terminal to the console port, cable the
console port to the serial port of your Digi device. Then using Telnet features, network
administrators can access these consoled serial ports from the LAN by addressing the
appropriate TCP port.
