connect to a remote serial port via ip?


Recommended Posts

(this is one of those things that u know exists but just cant rememer where it is in windows)

i want to use a (emulated/virtual) serial port but instead of local, i want to connect to another remote one using ip. i know this is possible (wikipedia states it and other sources) but i just cant find it in windows. its one of those things that are on the tip of ur tongue but i just cant find the options.

thank u.

What OS ? I think I know in XP - but - not sure what you're needing.

I know exactly how you feel. - You've seen it before, but cant remember how you got there before, and now that you need it - you're pretty sure you know how but .....

If I remember correctly, you create a device in Device Manager, then in the settings you can give it an IP address .... I think.

isnt that just a bit like ssh or telnet for devices like switches,routers and the like

you won't get SSH or telnet if you can't connect in and do the initial setup to config the ipstack ;) THis is like a dialup modem connected to the AUX port where a person would phone in to connect to the router/switch console.

well it sort of works.......

using a oscilloscope anazling the real serial port of device b, when trying to connect to the ip (thru the virutal serial port thru device be) a signal is read coming out of the serial port on the device b but it never connects :(

might be some strange vender thing
