5.2 RFC2217 Server Mode
RFC2217 Server Mode is similar to Driver Mode, which also uses a virtual serial
redirection driver to establish a transparent connection between host computers
and serial devices. The RFC2217 Mode defines general COM port control options
based on the standard Telnet protocol, which allows users to use anything that
supports RFC2217 protocol’s virtual serial redirection driver (such as c
com2tcp for Windows OS and microcom for Linux OS). The virtual serial port
functions as a native COM port.
Under the “HOME” page of NCOM-113-M’s firmware, select “NETWORK SETTINGS”
to find the “Port 1 Mode Settings” window. Under “Mode”, select “RFC2217-Server”
and check the “Make these the default settings” box and click “Apply Changes” to set
your NCOM-113-M into RFC2217 Server Mode.
