The serial interfaces in the LANCOM can be used for various applications, for example for the COM port server or as a WAN interface. The Devices table allows individual serial devices to be assigned to certain applications. As soon as a HotPlug-capable USB adapter is detected, a new entry for the serial interface provided by this USB adapter is created automatically in this table. This automation simplifies the configuration of the serial devices. An exception is the built-in serial interface, which is used for configuration purposes as standard. Entries can be added to the Devices table manually to use this interface for the COM port server or WAN applications.
