Terminal server configuration - local devices and RealPort

Figure 2 PortServer II - Local Devices and RealPort

In this configuration, several “dumb” terminals are connected to the Ethernet by a
PortServer II. This example shows that it is possible to connect different devices to the
same PortServer II, including modems and printers. Features to note include:

• Each device can communicate with several hosts or application servers.
• The application servers may be running Digi International’s RealPort software

(see Chapter 11, Configuring RealPort Connections).

• The application servers may be running different operating systems.
• PortServer II and application servers are connected by Ethernet (see Chapter 4).
• Terminals, modem, and printer are connected to serial ports on PortServer II.
