178 Chapter 2 Command Descriptions
set profiles
Device support This command is supported in all devices that support the default Web user
interface.
Purpose Sets the particular port configuration profile for a serial port.
The “set profiles” command may be used for two purposes:
• Used with the default Web interface to set the particular profile for a
serial port.
• Used to set the default parameters for a specific profile. When the
profile is changed, the serial settings are reverted to their defaults and
the profile-specific defaults are set (these defaults depend on the
profile). The "set profiles" command allows CLI users to quickly set up
serial ports.
Devices in the Digi One and PortServer TS Family support several port
profiles. The set of available profiles depends on each device. The help for
the “set profiles” command, displayed by entering “set profiles ?“ displays
the list of supported profiles. The complete set of profiles is:
• Console Management profile: Allows you to access a device’s console
port over a network connection.
• Industrial Automation (IA) profile: Configures the serial port for use in an
Industrial Automation (IA) environment.
• Modem Emulation profile: Allows you to configure the serial port to act
as a modem.
• Modem profile: Allows you to connect a modem to the serial port to
establish or receive connections from other systems and modems.
• Power Management profile: Allows you to control and manage a power
controller to turn on and off outlets and devices.
• Printer profile: Allows you to connect a printer to the serial port.
• RealPort profile: Allows you to map a COM or TTY port to the serial
port.
• TCP Sockets profile: Allows a serial device to communicate over a
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) network.
• Terminal profile: Allows you to connect a terminal to the serial port.
• Tunneling profile, also known as the Serial Bridge profile: Configures
one side of a serial bridge. A serial bridge connects two serial devices
over the network, as if they were connected with a serial cable.
• UDP Sockets profile: Allows a serial device to communicate using the
Universal Datagram Protocol (UDP).
• Custom protocol: An advanced option to allow full configuration of the
serial port. This profile allows you to view all settings associated with
the serial port.
