The first serial port on a DirectICA station is a dedicated mouse port, but the
second serial port is a system-wide device with the designation dcomx, where x is
the DirectICA station number. This port can be used with a serial printer, modem,
or any general serial communications device.
Serial port support is manufacturer-dependent and not a function of the DirectICA
software. At present, only Maxspeed MaxStations support using these ports with
DirectICA for MetaFrame.
The serial port specifications are as follows:
u
Maximum baud rate: 38400
u
Handshaking: XON/XOFF or RTS/CTS
