Setting Up RealPort COM Port Redirection
Setting Up RealPort COM Port Redirection
Introduction
This section discusses RealPort COM port redirection. It
describes what RealPort is and provides detailed instruction
for installing the RealPort driver on a Microsoft Windows
system. It also provides information on downloading the
latest RealPort driver from the Digi web site.
What is RealPort?
RealPort is a network communication option for applications
designed to communicate with serial devices using COM
ports. With RealPort, the application simply opens a
RealPort virtual COM port that directs the data across the
network to your device.
The advantage of this option is that neither the application
nor the serial device need to be changed from their original
serial communication model to work on a network. Both
continue to use serial communication techniques, and neither
is aware of the intervening network.
In the figure that follows, an application and your device with
the embedded Digi Connect ME module communicate as
though they were connected with a serial cable.
