PortShare for Windows
The portshare_setup.exe can be downloaded from the ftp site. See the PortShare User Manual and
Quick Start for details on installation and operation.
PortShare for Linux
The PortShare driver for Linux maps the console server serial port to a host try port. Opengear has
released the portshare-serial-client as an open source utility for Linux, AIX, HPUX, SCO, Solaris and
UnixWare. This utility can be downloaded from the ftp site.
This PortShare serial port redirector allows you to use a serial device connected to the remote
console server as if it were connected to your local serial port. The portshare-serial-client creates a
pseudo tty port, connects the serial application to the pseudo tty port, receives data from the
pseudo tty port, transmits it to the console server through network and receives data from the
console server through network and transmits it to the pseudo-tty port.
The .tar file can be downloaded from the ftp site. See the PortShare User Manual and Quick Start for
details on installation and operation.
