redirect a COM port to the client

April 1, 2008

Hi,

I have setup a terminal server and am not sure if there is a work around or

3rd party software that can be applied to resolve this issue.

A client machine prior to setting up Terminla had a CRM software package

that when you clicked on the click's phone number, would connect to the local

19200 baud modem on the COM port (COM 1). The telephone is also attached to

the modem and the user would pick up the phone and the number auto dials for

them. There was no TAPI configurations done...it is just a straight to COM

port connection. We have moved this user to the new terminal server and they

would like to have the ability to have the system auto dial for him.

Basically I would like to "map" the COM 1 port from the client system to the

user session on TS 2003. Is this possible? you can map drives, printers and

serial ports....why not COM ports? any help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

Re: redirect a COM port to the client

serial = COM port

map serial ports on client and type on server change port /query

if port is redirected you will have something like COM1 = \Device

\RdpDrPort\;COM1:1\tsclient\COM1
