Serial port for console access to switch

Just got a Netgear L2 Switch, and need to use VT100 terminal emulation to connect to the switch's serial port.
Does anyone know how to enable the Xserve's serial port for this type of job? When running Zterm for OS X I get an "Error: 16 opening port" and I'm at a loss for how to do it. I've heard that USB to Serial adapters have been working, but it seems silly that the serial port wouldnt work.

Thanks Camelot, your advice was spot on.
Just to close the topic:
Edit "/System/Library/StartupItems/SerialTerminalSupport/SerialTerminalSupport"
and change the line:
ENABLESERIALTERMINAL=$TRUE
to
ENABLESERIALTERMINAL=$FALSE
also, may be redundant with the last step but I edited /etc/ttys and changed:
tty.serial "/usr/libexec/getty serial.9600" vt100 on secure
to
tty.serial "/usr/libexec/getty serial.9600" vt100 off secure
Finally, dont be an idiot like I am, and leave the XServe case lock on... this will prevent the port from operating, and cause you to go crazy.

Connection to serial port for communication RFID

HI,
I have occurred problem in communication to serial port for accessing the RFID
through Serial Port COM1 or COM2 . I got garbage values of Card .
Please give me the code for accessing serial port and indicter the cadr is detected by RFID and read the data on card.

EHAG microchip 13,56 MHz dual reader and Mifare 1KB contactless smartcard.
I've succeed to retrieve the data from the transponder (card) but it just only once when i click the button from my application. My question is how do i retrieve the data continuously from the card for every few milliseconds?
sorry for my language.

Inconsistent prob when adding listeners to serial ports for sending AT cmds

I have an app that sends and receives SMSs from two different cell phone carriers (lets say verizon and sprint by example).
For that matter i have two cell phones, exactly the same model, one from each carrier, connected to the PC serial ports, COM, COM6 and COM7 being aware that they are available.
-The application communicats with the phones through the a serial communication API and sending AT commands.
-The application can send messages correctly from both phones within the same transaction, this is, i click in send message and the message is sent from both phones.
The problem is when receiving, getting the SMS received by the phones:
-When i have ONE phone connected to the PC it work properly for both phones.
-When i have BOTH phones connected, only Carrier1 phone receives properly.
When checking, i just find out that the problem rises when i try to add the listeners (see code comments below).
When both phones connected there seems to be a problem that i cant figure out, and may be its a conceptual misunderstanding from me.
I attach the code if you can help me,
thank you,
fernando

Thinking of a java application as its what I am most
comfortable with, but also thinking of having an
apache server, and using jsp pages or servlets...
because I hate formatting things in a java frame..
have never quite mastered that! Any thoughts on what
I should use?I'd prefer a Swing GUI for a maximum of controls. If you have any problems regarding layout, you can post concrete questions here (or even better: the Swing forum).
And my main stumbling block would be how do I send
signals to the green light from the computer? How do
I get signals from the light beams to the computer?
How do I use a serial port (for eg) from a java app.There's an additional library for serial I/O, it's named javax.comm ... should be downloadable somewhere on the java.sun.com site.

Using 2nd Built-In Ethernet port for internet access?

Hello,
I have a Quad-G5 running 10.4.8. In its current configuration, all its network communications, including web access, go over the active ethernet port (Built-in 1).
Does anyone know how I could use the second built-in port for internet access only? I'd like to route local traffic over the first port, but go "out" over the second.
The machine is on a corporate network, and proxy access is slowwww. I have the ability to use a direct connect to the internet, but still need to be connected locally. Any thoughts? Many thanks . . . JD

Easy. Go to System Preferences > Network > Network Port Configurations and drag the port connected to the internet to the top, so that it has priority over the port connected to your LAN. This prevents DNS time-out when loading a website, but still allows LAN traffic over the other port because that traffic is most likely going to use ARP rather than DNS. For good measure, you can add your company's domain (such as "my_company.lan") to System Preferences > Network > Internal_Ethernet > TCP/IP > Search Domains.

Changing port for console?

Hi,
is it possible to change WLS port for console application only on a standalone wls server?

If i understand you right then .....i guess what you need is to have console on a differnt port than the http listen port ....for this you can use Administartion port.....in your console go to the domain tab and in that Enable Administaration port and then you can use this port for the administrative traffic.....so the new url for consle will be t3s://ipaddress:adminport/console..please test this in a test enviornment first......
The other thing you were telling about is to change the context root for the console application ...you can do this in the same domain tab under configuration ...in the advanced tab you would see Console Context Path...just modify (sayfor eg: MyConsole) this and then you can use that value to bring up your console...http:ipaddress:port/MyConsole.....
Both the above changes needs a restart of admin server......
try in a test enviornment first.....
Hope this answers your question .....
Let us know if this works.......

Unfortunately, no Sanyo phones are iSync compatible so you will not be able to synchronize your Contacts and Calendars with the phone.
Also, you may have problems with the Bluetooth adapter you purchased, as the only one officially supported by Apple for use with Macs is the D-Link DBT-120.
The Official Apple list of iSync compatible devices is here:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
It's always a good idea to check this list before purchasing a new phone.
Other phones are supported by third party plugins from here and here. But still no Samsung, Sanyo, LG etc. who all use thier own proprietary syncing protocols rather than the industry standard SyncML. These manufacturers also don't provide Mac software with their phones like the do for Windows users.
I'm afraid you're not going to have much luck if you stick with the Sanyo. I would seriously consider taking it back and swapping it for one of the handsets on the above linked pages. Personally I would recommend a Sony Ericsson model. I've always had excellent Mac compatibility with those.

Using Serial Port as Console (not Mac OS X Server)

Folks using other Unix-y operating systems, as well as Mac OS X Server, can use a terminal plugged into their machine's serial port as a console to access the shell. I've searched high and low for a way to do this with regular Mac OS X Leopard with no luck. None of the solutions for Linux/*BSD/etc... work.
Any ideas?
(FYI: I'm using a USB to 9pin RS-232 cable. I've confirmed that my Mac can talk to the machine attached via this interface.)

I fixed it. It turns out that the Leopard -> Snow Leopard Migration screwed up the Subversion repository various credentials for user/group and other during the migration copy. Fortunately I had "cloned" my entire Leopard disk. I copied the cloned repository into the Snow Leopard disk and everything works. It looks like this was the fault of the Apple Migration process.

Serial port for an alarm system

I have an alarm system set to receive inputs from LabVIEW-controlled digital I/O cards. All the digital ports are fully utilized for data input. When an alarm state is reached, we would like to use the serial port to relay the alarm condition to a global monitoring system. I don't know if the serial ports can accomplish this as the global monitoring system typically looks for a dry contact or a relay to be tripped. What are the capabilities of the serial port along these lines? Can I have it set to constantly send a 5V signal of dummy data and then drop that data transmission when the alarm condition is reached?

RS-232 can be +-12V or more depending on how the physical drivers are configured. However, if you can handle these voltages, then you can simply assert or deassert one of the modem control lines (RTS or DTR) to indicate your alarm state. If you want to use the TX line, you can set and clear the break condition. If you hook up a multimeter to one of these signals and experiment with NI-VISA in LabVIEW, you should be able to create a signal that will work in your system.
However, if you need +5/GND, you can use an RS-485 port which generates (well, in a way) signals between 0 and 5V (or 0 and 3.3V depending on the system). RS-485 is a differential signaling system, but you can just throw away one of the lines. In this case you'll use TX+, TX-, RTS+, or
RTS- depending on what you need.

Services port for web access

I would like to change default port for all web services from port 80 to port 8080 and have full access to webmail, iCal, web page, wiki
How can I do that?

Hello Jay!
Take a look at this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/solutions/Verticals/mstdcmsftex.html#wp609677
RPC requires source ip sticky in order to operate correctly through a loadbalancer. In the doc, they also walk through doing RPC over http/https - however, I have seen configurations where ACE is not L5-L7 that use RPC on port 135 as a L4 rule with sticky and it appears to work ok.

Serial Port for Palm

Hi:
I have a little school project and need to use a Palm device serial port. The only problem is that it seems serial port implementation is only available for MIDPv2.0 and for Palm there's just an implementation for MIDPv1.0. I wonder if anyone knows if there's a sollution to this problem or other way to get to use serial port through MIDVPv1.0.
Thanks.
Alex

You can get the adaptor at just about any computer store. Its called a serial to USB adaptor. There should also include a disk or have a download of some kind for the driver of the device. Now this may or may not work due to the m100 was not designed for a USB connection. Others on this site have tried what you are doing. Here is a link after searching for serial to USB adaptor: http://forums.palm.com/palm/search?submitted=true&q=serial+to+USB+adaptor

WLS 7 - need separate port for console

Hi,
I can't find way to configure this for the life of me. Hopefully
someone can point me to some docs and page numbers...
I want to configure the WLS 7 server to host my web applications on
port 80, but I want the administration console hosted on a
different port (say 7001).
How do I do this??

Use the console. The default port for the admin console is 7001.
Try going to support.bea.com and in the box next to the "Ask" button,
enter "weblogic server 7.0 console port configuration". Several hits
will lead to
relevant parts of the documentation.
http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs70/ConsoleHelp/servers.html#1116254
I'll check other sources.

Port 80 is quite special. I was about to caution you about using it,
but wanted to get some details first.

It complains because on Unix-es only priv user (root) can listen on ports <1000.
You can start it as 'root' and configure WLS to change uid/gid to a non-priv
user after binding to port 80 (using console it is in Unix Machine configuration).

Using Serial Port for Non-Serial Data Acquisiton

I searched the forums and couldn't find anything related to this topic.
I saw that it was possible to use the parallel port for simple digital I/O and I was hoping the serial port can be configured the same. It seems all the VISA VI's only want to use the serial port to recieve ASCII chars at a given baud rate, but is it possible to simply poll the status of the serial line at my own speed to see if it is high or low, kind of like a single pin DAQ?
It seems it would be possible as long as the serial data is read and controlled by labview and not by Windows. Let me know if you have any ideas how to approach this problem, or any feedback as to why it is not possible.
Thanks everyone!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Select Property>Serial Settings>Modem Line Settings. For example, the CTS State is an input to the pc.
Using these lines is a very poor replacement for a scope or DAQ board. The only things you can get back is Asserted, Unasserted, or Unknown. The range of acceptable signals is quite large. Anything between +3 and -3 is an unknown state. Your other signals are +/3 to 15 volts. what kind of signals do you actually want to capture?
edit: There is no such thing as VISA Status so I have no idea what you are actually using.

After purchasing a serial number for Mac I have switched to a Windows PC. Can I get an updated serial?

So I purchased the teacher edition of Photoshop CS6 (mac) and I was running the trial version on my mac for a while. But I have recently switched to a PC and downloading CS6 the serial number "made" me download a mac version.
So, it there any way I can switch my mac serial number for a windows serial number?

I just tried selecting my location which is also Asia Pacific and i am able to go to Customer Support Portal.
Try to sign out of adobe.com and sign in back and then check.
Also, check if your Adobe ID has the right country set, which should be in Asia Pacific.

Second serial port for CompactRIO

I would like to reiterate the question posted here.
Is it possible to add a second serial port to a CompactRIO chassis?
Using the FPGA seems like it would not actually be transmitting at RS-232 levels, and using an Ethernet-to-Serial Port converter sounds more promising, but that means having the drivers loaded properly. Are these the only options, and are they even feasible? Having a multi serial port module seems like it would be a nice addition to the CompactRIO suite.

Hi m3nth,
The link involving using the FPGA and digital modules has been successful in the past with many people and like the tutorial says, a big part with this is converting to voltage using a voltage translator. With respect to the ENET option, the link below can be used to direct you to the products that we have that you may want to try to implement multiple serial ports. I've done some research and it appears that there shouldn't be an issue using the converters with a real-time system. When using the ENET converters, keep in mind that it may cause some more latency in your network as opposed to regular serial transmission. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Thanks!

Can we connect xbee to cfp2020 controllers serial port for wireless communication

hi,
i wanna do data aqcuisition using ethernet as well as wireless technologies, for that i wanna use xbee with cpf 2020. is it possible?
thanks in advance

You can do it fine..
I am guessing the wireless modem is really a router as well. When you say wireless do you mean 3g internet or 4g internet or do you mean cable or adsl and a wireless modem router.?? It is just helpful to know what you are talking about by wireless modem or wireless internet.
You have that plugged into ethernet over power (EOP) adapters .. that is great.
Plugged into TV again that is fine.. although I am unclear what or how it is decoding.. is it IPTV??
Now to your specific questions.
Now, is it possible to
a) connect the Time Capsule to the powerline, so it can act as an access point? When connected to this powerline (ethernet) I hope I won't loose speed to the wireless connection
Yes, the TC needs to be bridged..
Go to manual setup of the Airport utility.. click on the internet tab.. go to connection sharing on the bottom of that page.. select off bridge mode.. update the TC.
Now you can plug the TC into the EOP adapter. And it will work as Wireless Access Point.. WAP or short AP.. and switch.
Plug the TV into the TC as well.. that should all work fine.
b) will I be able to connect my digital tv-decoder to the TC without any problems? So the TC is the decoder's "ethernet port"?
Hope this is a bit clear, as English is not my mothertongue...
IPTV can be complicated to setup and exactly how it works will depend on the main router.. sometimes IPTV is only delivered to a specific ethernet port.. in which case the above suggestion will not work.. you can use either internet or the TV.. not both..
