ConnectPort LTS features
sending out a multicast packet. The ConnectPort LTS products respond to the multicast packet and
identify themselves to the client sending the multicast.
ADDP communicates with the IP stack using UDP. The IP stack can receive multicast packets and
transmit datagrams on a network.
You can enable or disable access to ADDP service, but you cannot change the network port number for
ADDP from its default.

Secure Shell (SSH)

ConnectPort LTS products support Secure Shell (SSH) as a connection method and the following types
of SSH connections: Reverse SSH and SSH Autoconnect. Limited use of SSH via SSH client is available
from the Linux command line/bash shell. For more information on these connections, see
connections and data

RealPort software

Digi's RealPort software leverages the TCP/IP network infrastructure to provide a virtual connection
to serial devices. The software is installed directly on the server and allows applications to talk to
devices via a Digi device server or terminal server over a network.
RealPort software is a COM port redirector that allows multiple connections to multiple ports over a
single TCP/IP connection. This means RealPort supports the maximum number of remote devices. The
number is restricted only by the operating system and server processing power.
Other unique features include full hardware and software flow control, as well as tunable latency and
throughput. With these, RealPort ensures optimum performance since data transfer is adjusted
according to specific application requirements. It also provides connection recovery—after a network
interruption RealPort automatically reconnects the device to the COM port without the application
knowing there was a failure.

Encrypted RealPort

ConnectPort LTS devices also support RealPort software with encryption. Encrypted RealPort offers a
secure Ethernet connection between the COM or TTY port and a device server or terminal server.
Encryption prevents internal and external snooping of data across the network by encapsulating the
TCP/IP packets in an SSL connection and encrypting the data using Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES).
Digi's RealPort with encryption driver has earned Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Lab (WHQL)
certification.
Drivers are available for a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows and Linux x32
and x64 based operating systems, as well as other versions of Unix. See the
List in the Digi Knowledge Base for a detailed list of supported operating systems. It is ideal for
financial, retail/point-of-sale, government, or any application requiring enhanced security to protect
sensitive information.

Alarms

You can configure ConnectPort LTS products to issue alarms, in the form of email messages or SNMP
traps, when certain device events occur, including data patterns detected in the data stream
Configuring Digi devices to issue alarms allows you to know when events occur. For more information
