Portbase User Guide
Connected : The connection between Portbase and the virtual serial port set by
Redirector on the PC is established.
Disconnected : The connection between Portbase and the serial port in the PC is lost.
COM Opened : Portbase doesn’t operate even though the serial port in the PC is open.
Reconnecting :
The virtual serial port set by Redirector on the PC is reconnecting to
Portbase.
(If any kind of unexpected error causes disconnection, reconnection is
attempted to a certain port and a port number at constant intervals.)
Switching :
Multiple IPs are assigned to one port and IP changes real-time.
Upon selecting a port and clicking “Stop”, the Redirector service for that port is terminated.
Once the service is terminated, Status tab for that port will be empty.
Information such as the COM port number, IP address and Port number is shown when the service
is performed. Once the service is terminated, these information automatically disappears from the
screen.
The service for one COM port can be started by either the “Start” button or the application program
which handles Redirector actions. Regardless of the service-activating source, it is always the last
action performed that achieves the higher priority.
If you click “Exit”, all the Redirector services for all ports are over, system tray icon disappears, and
Redirector quits.
If any COM port is on service when the “Exit” button is pressed, message box indicating that the
port is in use pops up and the service is not terminated.
If Redirector is restarted, the Redirector service may either be resumed automatically or not. This
is determined by the previous configuration (the Tray icon configuration).
