PPP
: The PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) profile configures an Internet PPP connection so the
provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and forward
requested Internet responses back to you. PPP uses the Internet protocol (IP) (and can handle
others). Essentially, it packages your computer's TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the
server where they are put on the Internet.
n
Printer
: The Printer profile allows you to connect a printer to the serial port. Use this profile if
you intend to print using the LPD protocol on your system. See
Assign a profile to a serial port
for more information.
n
RealPort
: Use RealPort to map a COM or TTY port to this serial port of your Digi device. The
COM/TTY port appears and behaves as a local port to the PC or server. RealPort is also known
as COM Port Redirection. See
Assign a profile to a serial port
for more information. Refer to
for basic RealPort installation instructions. Refer to
for more detailed instructions on installing and configuring the RealPort
driver on your PC or server.
When you configure a RealPort profile, the ConnectPort LTS product relinquishes control of the
serial port to the host that has the RealPort driver installed. The computer applications send
data to this virtual COM or TTY port and the RealPort driver sends the data across the network
to the corresponding serial port on the ConnectPort LTS product.
The network is transparent to both the application and the serial device.
Important
Install and configure the RealPort software
on each computer that uses RealPort
ports. See
Assign a profile to a serial port
for installation instructions. You need to configure the
RealPort software with the IP address of the ConnectPort LTS product.
