The Serial/IP Redirector software is installed on a PC by a setup program. Prior to the installation, you must
configure your serial server. After the installation, you configure the software to create Serial/IP COM ports and
configure them with the IP address (or DNS name) and TCP port numbers of serial servers. This chapter covers
these procedures in the order they should be performed.
