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 ESR901WB. Using
RealPort software (included with the ESR901WB) 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 ESR901WB. The ESR901WB
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
ESR901WB.
For information on how to use RealPort to create virtual COM ports on your PC
see Chapter 8
Console Management
In Console Management the ESR901WB 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.
