RealPort Support

48 Chapter 5

and allows applications to talk to devices across a network as though the

devices were directly attached to the host. In actuality, the devices are

connected to a Digi device server or terminal server somewhere on the

network.

RealPort is unique among COM port re-directors because it is the only

implementation that allows multiple connections to multiple ports over a single

TCP/IP connection. Other implementations require a separate TCP/IP

connection for each serial port. Unique features also include full hardware and

software flow control, as well as tunable latency and throughput.

When you use RealPort (configured on a per port basis) the Digi CM unit

functionality is unavailable. That is to say that the Digi CM unit can be used for

console management or for COM re-direction but not both. An example of

RealPort use would be remote kernal debugging of Microsoft Windows

Servers. To enable RealPort use the following procedure.

Note: RealPort does not support authentication and user rights are not validated.

1. To enable RealPort click Serial port > Configuration > Port number.

2. Select Enable this port from the drop down menu.

3. Select Enable RealPort support from the drop down menu.

4. Click Save to flash and continue with other configurations or click Save & apply.
