What is a port profile?
A port profile allows you to easily configure a serial port based on how you intend to use that port. Only the
configuration settings relevant to the current profile are displayed in the profile settings. The PortServer TS
2 supports the following port profiles:

Chat Mode
serial port.
Printer Connect a printer to the serial port.
Terminal Connect a terminal to the serial port.
Modem Emulation Configure the serial port to act as a modem.
Modem Connect a modem to the serial port.
Power Management Control and manage a power controller to turn on and off outlets and devices.
Custom Advanced configuration of the serial port.
RealPort Profile
The RealPort Profile allows you to map a COM or TTY port to the serial port of your Digi device server. The
COM/TTY port appears and behaves as a local port to the PC or server. RealPort is also known as COM Port
Redirection. See How to Configure RealPort (COM Port Redirection) for more information. Refer to the RealPort
Setup Guide for instructions on installing and configuring the RealPort driver on your PC or server.
Console Management Profile
The Console Management Profile allows you to access a device's console port over a network connection. Most
network devices such as routers, switches, and servers offer serial port(s) for management. Instead of
connecting a terminal to the console port, cable the console port to the serial port of your Digi device server.
Then using TCP/IP utilities like reverse telnet, network administrators can access these consoled serial ports from
the LAN. See How to Configure Console Management for more information.
TCP Sockets Profile
The TCP Sockets Profile allows serial devices to communicate over a TCP network. The TCP Server configuration
allows other network devices to initiate a TCP connection to the serial device attached to a serial port of the Digi
device server. This is also referred to as Reverse Telnet. See How to Configure TCP Server for more information.
In a TCP Client configuration, the Digi device server automatically establishes a TCP connection to an application
or network device. See How to Configure TCP Client (Automatic Connection) for more information.
UDP Sockets Profile
The UDP Sockets Profile allows serial devices to communicate using UDP. The UDP Server configuration allows the
serial port to receive data from one or more systems or devices on the network. See How to Configure UDP
Server for more information.
The UDP Client configuration allows the automatic distribution of serial data from one host to many devices at the
same time using UDP sockets. This is also referred to as UDP Multicast. See How to Configure UDP Client (Data
Distribution) for more information.
Serial Bridging Profile
The Serial Bridging Profile configures one side of a serial bridge. A bridge connects two serial devices over the
network as if they were connected with a serial cable. This is also referred to as serial tunneling. Each serial
device is connected to the serial port of a Digi device server. Each Digi device server is configured to
automatically connect to the other Digi device server. See How to Configure a Network Serial Bridge (Serial
Tunneling) for more information.
Industrial Automation Profile
The Industrial Automation (IA) Profile allows you to connect IA devices and PLCs to the serial port in order to
network-enable the devices. Use this profile if you need to communicate over the network with an IA device or
PLC that only uses serial protocols. This profile may also be used to add routing capabilities to IA devices or PLCs
that act as serial masters and send packets to various systems or devices on the network. Industrial Automation
enhances the IA device or PLC connected to the serial port. See How to Configure Industrial Automation for more
information.
Chat Mode
The Chat Mode Profile allows multiple clients to simultaneously connect and manage a server connected to a
serial device connected to a serial port. Use this profile if you multiple clients need to share a single server/slave
resource. This profile acts similar to a typical chat room where each client is able to send a message to the server
and all other clients are able to view the message as well as the server's response. This is useful when multiple
clients or systems need to cooperatively control a device or when an external system wants to monitor and log all
client data accessing the serial device. See How to Configure Chat Mode for more information.
Printer Profile
The Printer Profile allows you to connect a printer to the serial port. Use this profile if you intend to print using
the lpd protocol on your UNIX system. See How to Configure a Printer for more information.
Terminal Profile
The Terminal Profile allows you to connect a terminal to the serial port. See How to Configure a Terminal for
more information.
Modem Emulation Profile
The Modem Emulation Profile allows you to configure the serial port to act as a modem. The Digi device
server emulates modem responses to a serial device and seamlessly sends and receives data over an Ethernet
network instead of a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). The advantage for a user is the ability to retain
legacy software applications without modification and use a less expensive Ethernet network in place of public
telephone lines. See How to Configure Modem Emulation for more information.
Modem Profile
The Modem Profile allows you to attach modem devices to the serial port in order to establish or receive
connections from other systems and modems.
Power Management Profile

The Power Management Profile allows you to attach a power controller to the serial port. This will allow you to
power a device on or off, as well as allow you to continuously monitor for current surges. See How to Configure
Power Management for more information.
Custom Profile
The Custom Profile is an advanced option to allow full configuration of the serial port. Use it only if your
application which doesn't fit into any of the predefined port profiles.
