Error using a Serial Device Server (RS232 to TCPIP device)

[PalMan]

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]

Any Clue ?

Some virtual ports are not emulate a COM port properly and therefore our software can't work with it.

[PalMan]

Can you propose some that will work?

[Arthur Grasin]

I'm sorry, but we don't test virtual ports. 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).

Thank You that helps just fine.

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