Hello,
I know there are some folks on this forum who use Lantronix serial-to-Ethernet devices. I finally decided to hook up a Lantronix UDS-2100 2-port serial-to-Ethernet device server to my Rain8.NET irrigation controller. I think I’m following the instructions correctly, but I am unable to get my irrigation control software to connect to the Rain8. Here’s where I am:
What are the minimum items that I need to configure to get the serial port recognized?
Does the machine that hosts the virtual com port need to be configured in the UDS?
Thanks!
Stacy
I know there are some folks on this forum who use Lantronix serial-to-Ethernet devices. I finally decided to hook up a Lantronix UDS-2100 2-port serial-to-Ethernet device server to my Rain8.NET irrigation controller. I think I’m following the instructions correctly, but I am unable to get my irrigation control software to connect to the Rain8. Here’s where I am:
- I can assign an IP address to the UDS-2100
- I can connect to the configuration screens of the UDS-2100 via HTTP and via telnet.
- I can assign a virtual serial port to the IP/Port of the serial port on the UDS.
- When I try to connect via hyper-terminal or other software, I get a an error that a host was not found.
- I am connecting to the correct port for the device that is attached.
- I’m using default settings for the serial port, etc.
- There are quite a few settings for the UDS box with which I am unfamiliar, so I just left these set to their default values.
What are the minimum items that I need to configure to get the serial port recognized?
Does the machine that hosts the virtual com port need to be configured in the UDS?
Thanks!
