Devices
supported
This command supported in Digi Connect WAN Sync only.
Purpose Configures the binary synchronous feature (also known as bisync or BSC)
that provides bisync to IP protocol configuration. This feature allows you to
attach a bisync terminal to the Digi device server’s serial port. The Digi
device server emulates the host by polling the terminal. The bisync data is
forwarded to the host over the TCP/IP network.
The Digi device can be configured in either client or server mode for bisync
communications.
Configuring the bisync feature involves:
• Enabling/disabling bisync communications and configuring serial
settings.
• Configuring polling settings.
• Configuring the network service settings for bisync communications.
Setting any of the bisync options will apply those options immediately, with
the current network connection. If the Digi device server is up and running,
has a network connection to the host, and you change the polling address,
the Digi unit will apply that to the next poll command it sends. However, if
you change anything on the network options, the current network
connection will be terminated, and a new connection will be established
using the new configuration.
