RealPort: COMport redirection is provided with the RealPort software installed on your
network-based computer. RealPort creates a virtual COMport on your computer. When
your computer applications send data to thisvirtual COMor TTYport, RealPort sends
the data acrossthe network to the Digi device server. The Digi device server routes the
data to the serial device connected to its serial port. The network istransparent to both
the application and the serial device.
Prerequisite RealPort software must be installed on each computer that you want to
connect to. See Install RealPort software for more information.
RealPort will set the serial port settingsasdirected by the computer application, so
there is no need to modify the Basic Serial Port Settings.

Serial Bridge: Abridge connects two serial devices over the network as if they were
connected with a serial cable. Thisis also referred to as serial tunneling. Each serial
device isconnected to the serial port of aDigi device server. Configure one Digi device
as the TCPserver and the other Digi device as the TCPclient. Once you establish a
connection between the two Digi devicesthe communication isbi-directional.
To assign a Serial Bridge (Serial Tunneling) to a serial port on a Digi device acting as the
TCPclient (which initiates the connection to the TCPserver):
a. Select Initiate serial bridge to the following device and provide the
following information:
l
Type theIP Addressof the other Digi device server.
l
In the TCP Port field, type the Raw TCPport number for the destination
serial port. If the serial port is the first or only port on the device server,
the value is2101.
b. Click Apply to save the configuration.
c. Click Basic Serial Settings, complete the fieldsto match the settingsof the
attached serial device and then click Apply.
Follow the same steps to configure the Digi device server on the other side of the
bridge, with the following exceptions:
l
Select Allow other devicesto initiate serial bridge. The default TCP Port rarely
needs to be changed.
l
Clear the Initiate serial bridge to the following device check box.
