Serial Port Profiles

You can define a list of hosts that the serial device will communicate to through TruePort Lite or a 
primary/backup host.
Configure the following parameters:

When this option is enabled, multiple hosts can connect to a serial device that 

is connected to this serial port. Note: These multiple clients (Hosts) need to be 
running TruePort in Lite mode.
Default: Disabled

When this option is enabled, you can define up to 49 hosts that the serial device 

connected to this serial port will attempt communicate to. With this mode of 

operation, the IOLAN will connect to multiple hosts simultaneously.
Default: Enabled

Click the 

 button to add a host to the list of hosts that will be receiving 

communication from the serial device connected to the IOLAN.

 for more information.

Highlight an existing host and click the 

 button to edit a host in the list of 

hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to 

the IOLAN.

Highlight an existing host and click the 

 button to edit a host in the list of 

hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to 
the IOLAN.

When this option is enabled, you need to define a primary host that the serial 

device connected to this serial port will communicate to and a backup host, in 

the event that the IOLAN loses communication to the primary host. The 
IOLAN will first establish a connection to the primary host. Should the 

connection to the primary host be lost (or never established), the IOLAN will 

establish a connection the backup host. Once connected to the backup, the 
IOLAN will attempt to re-establish a connection to the Primary host, once this 

is successfully done, it gracefully shuts down the backup connection.
Default: Disabled
