RealPort profile
The RealPort profile maps a COM or TTY port to a serial port. This profile configures a
ConnectPort LTS product to create a virtual COM port on a PC, 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 ConnectPort LTS product.
Data is routed to the serial device connected to the ConnectPort LTS product serial port. The
network is transparent to both the application and the serial device.
Important: On each PC that will use RealPort ports, RealPort software must be installed and
configured from the Software and Documentation CD. Enter the IP address of the ConnectPort LTS
product and the RealPort TCP port number 771.
Console Management profile
The Console Management profile allows access to a device 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 the
ConnectPort LTS product. Then using Telnet and SSH features, network administrators can access
these consoled serial ports from the LAN by addressing the appropriate TCP port.
