Sharing Devices across the Network

PortMaster asynchronous ports can be configured to allow network hosts access to shared devices connected directly to the PortMaster. If the network host is running the PortMaster in.pmd daemon, a connection can be established to a specified port on the PortMaster. Once the connection is established, the connected device such as a printer or modem can be accessed as if it were connected directly to the host.

Ports can also be configured to be accessed by programs that are using TCP/IP sockets, or by telnet from the network.

For examples, see the information on shared devices in the PortMaster Configuration Guide.
