3. For Port Number, enter the TCP port number that the serial server uses to provide its serial ports to the

network. This TCP port number must be the same as the TCP port number you used when you
configured the serial server, as discussed in the previous section

Configuring the Serial Server

.

4. For Server Credentials, the default is No Login Required. If your serial server does require a login by

the Serial/IP Redirector, the Serial/IP Redirector needs to provide a username and/or password every
time an application tries to use the serial server. For details, see

More About Login Credentials

below.

5. Click the Configuration Wizard button and then click the Start button that appears in the Wizard window.

This important step verifies that the Serial/IP Redirector can communicate with the serial server using the
settings you have provided. If the Log display does not show errors, click the Use Settings button in the
Wizard, which makes the recommended settings effective and returns you to the Control Panel to
continue with the following steps. For more about the Configuration Wizard, see the next section

Using

the Configuration Wizard

.

6. For Connection Protocol, the setting must match the TCP/IP protocol that the serial server supports.

The Configuration Wizard is usually able to determine the correct setting. If you wish to make this setting
manually, see

More About Connection Protocols

below.

7. For COM Port Options, the settings must match the COM port behavior expected by the PC application

that will use this COM port. The Configuration Wizard will recommend a combination of settings. If you
wish to make this setting manually, see

More About COM Port Options

below.
