Devices
supported
This command is supported in all Digi Connect products. However, some
port profiles are not supported in particular devices, as noted in the “profile”
option’s description.
Purpose Associates a particular port with one of several port configuration profiles,
or displays the current port-profile settings.
Port profiles are a defined set of port configuration settings for a particular
use. A port profile reconfigures serial-port settings to the necessary default
values in order for the profile to operate correctly.
Port-profile configuration is most often performed through the Web user
interface for a device. It is not often specified from the command line, but is
available if needed.
Digi Connect devices support several port profiles. Following is the
complete set of port profiles. The profiles supported on your Digi Connect
product may vary.
• Console Management profile: Allows you to access a device’s console
port over a network connection.
• Local Configuration profile allows you to connect standard terminals or
terminal emulation programs to the serial port in order to use the serial
port as a console to access the command line interface.”
• Modem Emulation profile: Allows you to configure the serial port to act
as a modem. (Not supported in Digi Connect WAN.)
• RealPort profile: Allows you to map a COM or TTY port to the serial
port. (Not supported in Digi Connect WAN)
• TCP Sockets profile: Allows a serial device to communicate over a TCP
network.
• Tunneling profile, also known as the Serial Bridge profile: Configures
one side of a serial bridge. A bridge connects two serial devices over
the network, as if they were connected with a serial cable.
• UDP Sockets profile: Allows a serial device to communicate using UDP.
(Not supported in Digi Connect WAN)
• Custom profile: An advanced option to allow full configuration of the
serial port. This profile allows you to view all settings associated with
the serial port.
