Note The focus of this section is the configuration required on the PC end of the Serial Port Tunnel using Com Port Redirector software Additional configuration is required on the XL OCS end of the Serial Port Tunnel using the OCS System Menu which is covered in CHAPTER 4 1 Overview Com Port Redirector is a software utility that installs virtual Windows communication ports These virtual communication or COM ports are redirected to the PC Ethernet port so PC applications such as Cscape can use Ethernet to communicate to an XL Series OCS which has an installed XEC COM module Observe the following general guidelines when using COM Port Redirector The PC running COM Port Redirector must have a good network connection to the XL Series OCS This connection can be direct using a crossover cable or via LAN using hubs switches and routers PC and XL Series OCS not on the same LAN both the PC and the XL Series OCS must have a correct Gateway IP Address configured allowing WAN or Internet communication between them Donotrun COM Port Redirector with other software that installs a virtual COM port Do not run COM Port Redirector with other Comport Redirection software on the same PC The following is a summary of the necessary steps for preparing COM Port Redirector for use illustration is for XLe OCS with XEC installed Install COM Port Redirector on the PC that will communicate with the XLe Appendix A
