Digi RealPort®

Digi RealPort® utility allows you to keep using your existing applications that rely on COM ports and RS-232 links for communication puposes, instead of having to develop TCP/IP based network applications.  Installed on a network-enabled PC, RealPort® creates a virtual COM port.  As such, your application still thinks it is working with a real serial port, such as COM1.  When the application sends data to this serial port, RealPort® ships that data across the network to the Ethernet Bridge in your power supply.  By doing this, the network is transparent to your existing application.
