Mapping COM Port to Device (only required when operation
mode is set to Real COM or RFC2217)
This section covers how to map the COM ports on a Windows PC to NPort device ports. The mapping will
allow Windows software to access serial devices over the network as if they were local COM devices,
providing instant device networking without software migration. COM mapping is supported in Real COM and
RFC2217 modes only.
The following instructions are for device ports operating in Real COM mode. For device ports operating in
RFC2217 mode, follow the instructions for your particular driver. Real COM mode also supports TTY port
mapping on Linux and UNIX systems.
