RealPort

  

  

Select 

RealPort 

to implement the use of virtual COM ports. This allows you 

to map a COM port on a PC to the serial port on your ES1AWB. Using 
RealPort software

 

(included with the ES1AWB) you create a virtual COM 

port on the PC. When your application sends data to this port, RealPort 
redirects the data across the network to the ES1AWB. The ES1AWB passes 
the data to the serial device connected to its serial port. The network is 
transparent to the user application and the serial device connected to the 
ES1AWB.  

For information on how to use RealPort to create virtual COM ports on your PC 
see Chapter 8 

Console

 

Management

    

In 

Console Management 

the ES1AWB can be configured for connection to 

the management port typically found on network devices such as routers, 
switches and servers. This allows remote management of the network device. 
Communication can be accomplished using telnet to a specific port in the 
serial server.
