4.5 COM1 and COM2 Configuration
Serial device server can be configured under these two submenus.
Normally, serial device server is used to bring serial device data into a LAN
network through TCP, UDP or multicast. When configured properly, data
from a serial port on one IP920 could output to the serial port on another
IP920.
Settings for two serial ports are mostly the same except minor differences.
COM1 is a dedicated data port and can only be configured for data
communication purpose. COM2 is setup as a system console by default and
can be used as a second data communication port. There is no hardware
flow control available on COM2.
This section will mainly describe how to setup COM1.
