Serial Port Redirection

[Guest Vincent]

Quick and easy question--I hope. Is there always a one-to-one mapping

between the com ports in the terminal server session and the com ports

on the client computer? In other words, if I have 4 com ports on the

client (COM1, COM2, COM3, COM4), will the terminal server session

always map like so:

 

Terminal Server Client

COM1 COM1

COM2 COM2

COM3 COM3

COM4 COM4

 

Or will it do something funky like so?

 

Terminal Server Client

COM1 COM4

COM2 COM3

COM3 COM2

COM4 COM1

 

Or is it completely unpredictable? Thanks.

It's predictable. Check here for an example of redirected COM port

naming:

 

How can I verify that my local COM ports are redirected?
