6. Enter the Port number of the target device server in the “Port:” section. Click OK when
done.
****Please Note:****
Because this is a raw mode redirector:
a. On UDS and CoBox products, you cannot use ports 14000 through 14009.
b. On MSS, ETS, LRS, and SCS products DO use the 3001, 3002, 3003, etc. ports.
Note: You will be required to reboot your system when enabling COM ports. You may want
to set them all up at one time and then reboot.
7. Click the Settings button for advanced configuration. Some serial applications do not
work well when redirected because they are not expecting the latency (delay) that an
Ethernet network may cause. Increasing the “Read Network Timeout” and the “Write
Network Timeout” values may help the situation. Network latency varies depending on a
number of factors. You can get a rough idea of the delay at a given time by “pinging” the
device server from the PC and looking at the “time” column. You may also find the PC
command “tracert” helpful. See your Windows OS documentation for more details on
these commands. Both “ping” and “tracert” are DOS prompt commands.
8. Click Ok to close the Settings dialog box.
9. Select the "Enable Connection Status” checkbox at the bottom of the DeviceComm
Manager screen if you wish to be notified via screen pop-up when the connection to the
remote port is established. If your application is very time sensitive regarding the initial
connection, or you do not wish to have a screen pop-up, leave this box unchecked.
10. Click OK to complete the setup.
No other setup is required. In the above example, all data sent to COM4 will be sent across
the network to the device server at “172.20.197.50”, port “10001”.
