Serial Port Redirection All Opengear console servers support RFC2217on any port - which provides for virtual serial port connections. To enable simply tick RFC2217 as the Console Server Setting for the specific serial port in the Serial&Network:Serial Ports menu. 
You will then need to run some client software in the desktop computer to actually redirect its local serial port communications to the remote serial ports. For Linux, AIX, HPUX, SCO, Solaris and Unixware, Opengear has released an open source opengear-serial-client utililty, which can be b>freely downloaded. This serial port redirector software when loaded in your desktop computer will allows you to use a serial device connected to the remote console server as if it were connected to your desktop computer's local serial port. The opengear-serial-client creates a pseudo tty port. It the connects the serial application to the pseudo tty port, receives data from the pseudo tty port, transmits it to the console server over network and receives data from the console server over the network and transmits it to the pseudo-tty port. For Windows, Opengear recommends the Serial/IPT COM Port Redirector from Tactical Software. Serial/IP Redirector creates virtual COM ports on the Windows PC that local applications can access, with no change to the application software. Tactical Software provides a trial copy of its products. A single Serial/IP Redirector license is also supplied with each SD4000 - enabling one virtual COM port on a single computer. To receive the Serial/IP Redirector license key for your SD4000, contact sales@opengear.com (with your product serial number). This license can also be upgraded for additional virtual COM ports.
