RealPort software

Digi’s RealPort software leverages the TCP/IP network infrastructure to provide a virtual connection to serial devices. The software is installed directly on the server and allows applications to talk to devices via a Digi device server or terminal server over a network.

RealPort software is a COM port redirector that allows multiple connections to multiple ports over a single TCP/IP connection. This means RealPort supports the maximum number of remote devices. The number is restricted only by the operating system and server processing power.

Other unique features include full hardware and software flow control, as well as tunable latency and throughput. With these, RealPort ensures optimum performance since data transfer is adjusted according to specific application requirements. It also provides connection recovery—after a network interruption RealPort automatically reconnects the device to the COM port without the application knowing there was a failure.
