Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
• Check
Receive DSR/DCD/CTS changes
if the flow control signal status from the physical serial port on Console Server is to
be reflected back to the Windows COM port driver (as some serial communications applications prefer to run without any
hardware flow control i.e. in “two wire” mode)
• The
Propagate local port changes
allows complete serial device control by the Windows application so it operates exactly
like a directly connected serial COM port. It provides a complete COM port interface between the attached serial device
and the network, providing hardware and software flow control. So the baud rate of the remote serial port is controlled by
the settings for that COM port on Windows computer. If not selected then the port serial configuration parameters are set
on the
Console Server.
• With the
Emulate Baud Rate
selected
VirtualPort
will only send data out at the baud rate configured by the local
Application using the COM port
4.7.3 To remove a configured port
At any stage you can delete a single configured COM port, or delete the
Console Server
connection (and all the COM ports
configured on that Console Server)
• Select the console server or COM port on the left hand menu and click the
Remove
button
4.7.4 Configure the remote serial device connection
Ensure the remote serial device is connected to your remote
Console Server
. Then configure the serial port as detailed in the
User Guide
• Set the RS232 Common Settings (e.g. baud rate)
• Select Console server mode and specify the appropriate protocol to be used:
o
RAW TCP
allows connections directly to a TCP socket and the default TCP port address is 4000 + serial port #
(i.e. the address of the second serial port is
IP Address _ 4002
)
o
RFC2217
enables serial port redirection on that port and the default port address is IP Address _ Port (5000 +
serial port #) i.e. 5001 – 5048 on a 48 port
Console Server
