Checklist for All Applications

Applications that need more serial port control

If the application needs to directly control (at run-time) the baud rate, parity, framing and/or receive real-time status signals for the serial ports on the server:

• Use a serial server that supports the COM Port Control protocol.

• Note: If serial port settings don't have to be changed on-the-fly by the application, they can usually be configured on the server instead. This may enable the use of a server that does not support the COM Port Control protocol.

Applications that use an untrusted network

If the network connection between your application and the server is untrusted (e.g., the Internet):

• Use a server that supports SSL/TLS encryption.

• Obtain and use a license key that enables the Encryption option.

• For each virtual COM port use by this application, enable the option Use Encryption in the redirector. details
