Introduction
This section provides information on configuring serial ports. Key port configuration attributes
include whether or not the port is enabled or disabled, the host mode, which defines a type of
communication between the port and a remote host, the protocol, authentication, user access
restrictions, and serial communication attributes. It also covers remote port support.
Enable and disable the ports
All serial ports may be enabled or disabled individually or as a group from the web interface.

RealPort support
RealPort software provides a virtual connection to serial devices, no matter where they reside on
the network. The software is installed directly on the host and allows applications to talk to devices
across a network as though the devices were directly attached to the host. In actuality, the devices
are connected to a Digi device server or terminal server somewhere on the network.
RealPort is unique among COM port re-directors because it is the only implementation that allows
multiple connections to multiple ports over a single TCP/IP connection. Other implementations
require a separate TCP/IP connection for each serial port. Unique features also include full hardware
and software flow control, as well as tunable latency and throughput.
When you use RealPort (configured on a per port basis) the Digi CM unit functionality is unavailable.
That is to say that the Digi CM unit can be used for console management or for RealPort COM re-
direction but not both. An example of RealPort use would be remote kernal debugging of Microsoft
Windows Servers. To enable RealPort use the following procedure.
Note
RealPort does not support authentication and user rights are not validated.
