Chapter 4: Serial Port, Device and User Configuration
• To configure a COM port you have created simply click on the desired COMx label in the left hand menu tree
• In the Properties window you can edit the IP Address or TCP Port to be used to connect to that COM port
• You can then configure the COM port in the Connection and Advanced windows:
• Connect at system startup—When enabled VirtualPort will try to connect to the Console Server when the VirtualPort
service starts (as opposed to waiting for the application to open the serial port before initiating the connection to the
Console Server)
• The Time between connection retries specifies the number of seconds between TCP connection retries after a client-
initiated connection failure. Valid values are 1-255 (The default is 1 second and VirtualPort will continue attempting to
reconnect forever to the Console Server at this interval)
• The Send keep alive packets option tests if the TCP connection is still up when no data has been sent for a while by
sending keep-alive messages. Select this option and specify period of time (in milliseconds) after which VirtualPort sends
a command to remote Console Server end in order to verify connection's integrity and keep the connection alive
• The Keep Alive Interval specifies the number of seconds to wait on an idle connection before sending a keep-alive
message. The default is 1 second. The Keep Alive Timeout specifies how long VirtualPort should wait for a keep alive
response before timing out the connection.
• Disable Nagle Algorithm — the Nagle Algorithm is enabled by default and it reduces the number of small packets sent by
VirtualPort across the network
