Use this profile if you want to connect a slave device to the serial port using
any IA serial port protocol not previously discussed.
In this configuration, you do not set up the port of the device server for an
IA protocol. If you plan to use RealPort for COM port redirection, you
simply set up the port for RealPort. If you plan to have the master access
the device server using TCP or UDP sockets, you simply configure the
standard serial port parameters required by the attached slave, such as
line speed, number of data bits, and parity scheme. No special network
configuration is required in either case.
•
To set up the device server for RealPort, see "Setting Up COM Port
Redirection" on page 67.
•
To set up the port for an "unsupported" IA protocol, see "Configuring a
Serial-Connected Slave: Other IA Protocol" on page 65.
