Create a new COM port
User can use the Xport utility to map a serial port to a COM port on a PC. The serial port on the
Serial Device Server has to be set to Virtual Com mode when mapping COM port with Xport
utility.
1. Network setting:
 TCP port: Choose TCP port number assigned to the COM port. The default TCP port
number is 601.
 Active auto-reconnect: Check this option to support Active auto-reconnect. The Xport
utility will automatically attempt to reconnect COM port to the serial port on the Serial
Device Server.
 Reconnect interval: The Xport utility will automatically attempt to reconnect COM port to
the serial port on the Serial Device Server in defined time interval (Reconnect interval).
The default Reconnect interval is 1000ms.
 Cache data when connection was broken: Check this option to ensure that data is buffered
if the connection is broken.

2. Serial setting:
 Serial port protocol: Choose Raw protocol or RFC2217 protocol.
 Serial port preset signals: There are CTS, DSR, DCD, and RING serial port preset signals
that can be chosen.
 Enable bitrate emulation: Check this option to limit data transmission speed to that was
specified to serial port. Transmission speed depends on bandwidth of the serial
connection if bitrate emulation is disabled.
