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. Before Installing RealPort®: Make sure you the XFR unit is connected to your network and powered on. Next, obtain the IP address of the XFR unit using AMETEK Device Discovery Browser. To Install: You need to run the Windows' "Add Hardware Wizard" to install or update your driver.
