Title: Error using a Serial Device Server (RS232 to TCPIP device) Post by: PalMan on May 19, 2010, 03:37:54 PM Hi,
I am using the PBX data logger for a few weeks now and I would like to connect a second PBX over a virtual COM port created by the driver software of a Serial Device Server (Advantech ADAMS 4571L) see picture server.jpg This device connects to a serial port and transfers the com port data over the LAN to a PC where a virtual com port (COM8) has been created. This acts like a normal com port under windows (as if the serial device was connected on the PC itself). I can open COM8 with hyperterminal and log data to a text file. If I now create a configuration for COM8, the PBX logger can not open it and I get the message: COM8 can't be opened [Apro Exception] see picture error.jpg Any Clue ?

For example, our software can work with our virtual ports (from Virtual Null Modem software) and MOXA's virtual ports for RS232-to-Ethernet devices (www.moxa.com, NPort 5110).

I managed to find the MOXA 5110 here in Greece for an affordable 140 Euro so I will go with that. |
