Is it possible to create a serial bridge between two ports on the same Port Server TS 8

Question

Is it possible to create a serial bridge between two ports on the same Port Server TS 8?
We have a Port Server TS 8 connected to one PC and there is an application on a virtual server that needs to interface via serial port to this device, can we use two ports on this device to create a bridge for the two systems to talk ? Is there a different approach I can take to connect an application on a virtual server that needs serial connectivity to another on an actual PC?

Answer 1

As long as you configure the two ports correctly, there's no reason you couldn't bridge one Portserver TS serial port to another.

Another possibility you might want to look at is Port Sharing (see page 37):
