n Modem Emulation: Click Basic Serial Settings, complete the fields to match the
settings of the attached serial device and then click Apply.
Modem emulation enables a system administrator to configure the serial port to act as
a modem. The Digi device server emulates modem responses to a serial device and
seamlessly sends and receives data over an Ethernet network instead of a PSTN (Public
Switched Telephone Network). The advantage for a user is the ability to retain legacy
software applications without modification and use a less expensive Ethernet network
in place of public telephone lines.
n Printer: Verify that the Basic Serial Settings match the settings of your serial printer
and then click Apply. See Using LDP protocol for more information.
n RealPort: COM port redirection is provided with the RealPort software installed on your
network-based computer. RealPort creates a virtual COM port on your computer. When
your computer applications send data to this virtual COM or TTY port, RealPort sends
the data across the network to the Digi device server. The Digi device server routes the
data to the serial device connected to its serial port. The network is transparent 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 settings as directed by the computer application, so
there is no need to modify the Basic Serial Port Settings.
