Usb to serial converter console access on aironet 1131

I am having difficulty accessing the console port utilizing a usb to serial converter. My settings are 9600, 8,n,1 and flow control is none.
The converter works if I use it for switches and router but fails on the aironet.
I can access the aironet if I go directly to the serial port.

Hi,
I haven't seen this problem except when I chose the incorrect COM port in my terminal emulator. Otherwise, usb-to-serial cables haven't presented any issues with Aironet equipment.
Sorry I couldn't help further. Maybe someone else has seen this issue.

Windows XP in BootCamp using USB-to-serial converter

I know this is all ancient equipment, but here is my dilemma.
I have an old computer-operated embroidery sewing machine I would like to use. In order to use it, I need a machine that has RS232 and parallel printer ports. My current machine is a MacBook 2,1 running OS 10.6.8. Since the sewing machine works in Windows XP, I need to run that software in BootCamp with XP and Service Pack 3. I purchased a USB-to-RS232 adapter cable, but the XP will not recognize the cable as a "port" to allow the software to recognize it. When checking Device Manager in XP, the cable shows up as "other devices."
Therefore, my question is:
How to I get a MacBook 2,1 running Windows XP in BootCamp to recognize a USB-to-RS232 cable as a port?

No. The cable came with no drivers.
I would think it should have since serial ports are long gone natively. The drivers might have been a separate download. In any case, Staples offers a USB to serial cable and has a separate download of drivers here. No guarantees, but you might give it a try. This is the cable the drivers go with.

Writing USB-Serial Converter Device Driver for Windows CE 6.0

Dear Developers,
I have a Silicon Labs chip Cp2108. Its a Quad USB to Serial converter. It supports all the operating systems except Win CE. So I have the source code of the driver for Linux 2.6 / Linux 3.0. I have experience in Device drivers development
in Linux.
Question is How will I start coding driver for Windows CE 6.0. Can anyone point me to a best starting point on this topic. All I need to do is make this chip work with WIN CE 6.0. Can anyone point me to a Sample driver source code It will be great.
Regards,
Winston

Dear Vinoth,
Thanks for the valuable reply.
I am confused a bit here. I need to make the external USB -UART bridge (CP2108) work on win CE 7.
the driver in Path \WINCE600\PUBLIC\COMMON\OAK\DRIVERS\USB\CLASS\USBSER is using the built in USB controller
hardware and making it as a Serial port right ?
How do you go about making the external USB -UART bridge work as a COM port ?
I have a document from SIlicon Labs which gives info about Device descriptors and interface commands .

Win 7 on MacBook pro under bootcamp and USB to serial

Hi all,
I am planning running win 7 under bootcamp on my macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.2.
There is only one program I want to run under windows and that program needs to use a USB to serial converter made by KeySpan.
Question is once win 7 is installed will I then be able to install the windows drivers for the keyspan device as if I was on a win 7 PC?
Thanks

One more question: where do I download the apple drivers or does that happen automatically?
Nope. The first thing that the BootCamp Assistant offers you is to create a drivers CD or USB flashdrive. Once Windows installation is complete, you use that media to install drivers that allow Win7 to identify and use properly the Mac's hardware. Else it will use generic drivers that may not work fully.
Run the first step of Assistant again if you missed that. It won't mess up your installation.

Usb to 232 converter and windows 7

Hi All,
Taking a long shot hoping someone has an idea on what the possible solution could be. Hoping I've just missed something obvious. I have a customer who is using the NI usb to 232 converter. The software he is using is emh camcal software. He says the comms worked fine on his XP machine, then he moved it across to a machine with Windows 7. He installed the latest driver, NI serial 3.5.1 I think it is, which supports Windows 7. Now the communication doesn't work. I've got him to run the troubleshooting wizard for ni serial and everything seems fine.
The client says he's tried a cheap usb to serial converter in place of the NI product and everything has worked. Maybe its got something to do with the configuring of the com ports when the device is plugged in?
Thanks,
Jevon

Hello Jevon,
Here is a few other things I would try. First does the Windows 7 machine see the COM port in the device manager? If it does, I would make sure to see if MAX sees the device on the customers machine. From MAX you can test the connection with it by using the NI-Serial communicator. I have copied the steps to do this from the manual below.
Launch MAX.
Expand the My System directory by clicking the
+ next to the folder.
Expand the Devices and Interfaces directory by clicking the
+ next to the folder.
Select your serial interface and expand it to see its ports by clicking the
+ next to its name.
Right-click on the serial port you want to use and select
Communicate with Instrument. This launches the NI-Serial
Communicator.
Depending on the result of this test, the problem could be with the serial converter or the program communicating with this device. There is a Knowledgebase that contains a lot of different ways to debug these problems and the URL is below.

Trapping VISA USB to serial session error

Hello,
What would be the best way to trap a VISA error where someone disconnects a USB to serial Converter.
At the moment I am looking at the error code and if it is -1073807194 The I break out and let the user reset the system.
Is -1073807194 the only code that will indicate the USB bus was disconnected? Or are there a other codes that apply.
Thanks
Martin

Don't worry about trapping the error where someone disconnects a USB to serial Converter
Trap the "Someone"!
Place a "TEST in Progress - Do not disturb" Sign on the station, Post an armed guard! (with orders to shoot!)
PROTECT your experiment's equipment set-up! The alternative is to state, without ambiguity, the the contitions of your test could not be verified and the data, and any conclusions dranw from the data, have NO merit. (Should be discarded without consideration)
Yes, that is very blunt. If you want to draw conclusions about something you "Test" the "Test enviornment" must be tracable and stable. You CANNOT recover from an undocumented procedural violation easilly. You can abort or fail a "Test" where procedures were not followed..... it is much harder to "Prove" that such a violation did not effect data integrity!

Console access via SERIAL MGT port on v210

This is a simple question. I just want the standard way to use Hypertem off my laptop in order to have a CONSOLE session on a v210. NOT AOLM, I want to be able to have console access, running in single user mode, etc.
I have a USB SERIAL connector that ends with a DB-9 connector. I have a NULL MODEM cable, DB-9 at both ends.
I am supposed to use the RJ-45 SERIAL MGT port on the back of the v210, correct?
I believe then that I need a connector that is RJ-45 on one end and DB-9 at the other. And so, where do I get that? I have seen a silver connector like that when I have opened new servers before. But I don't have one. Can I buy one???

If you have a Sun support contract you can ask your local support team to provide you with a T3 connector kit. If no contract, http://www.infosystemssupply.com/products77.html

USB/Serial converter for Satellite P100-112

Hi, I need to buy a usb/serial converter for my P100-112. The one I have I can't get it to work with my present machine. Advice as to what to buy would be appreciated.

Hi buddy,
I googled a bit around for you and I found a example for a converter which might be useful for you:

APC USB/Serial converter cable

I have a Lexmark E232 printer with a serial cable. I purchased an APC USB/Serial Converter cable and tried plugging it up to my Macbook, but it is not recognized. Any thoughts?

The APC Adapter is not driverless. It requires software drivers to work. I do not believe that there are Mac drivers for it.

Usb to serial port converter in lenova g560

hi this is madhan. i m using lenova g560 ideapad. there is no serial port in my laptop. For my project i need a serial port. i heard tat in market USB to serial port converters are available. Does Lenova g560 support this change?? If so is there any driver to make support to serial port?????????

If you buy a Serial-USB interface/cable you won't have any problem. Usually this accesory comes with drivers. If you have Windows 7, mayte it will detect all automaticaly.

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.

8500 WLC Console Access

Hi,
It might be a silly question, but I stuck with it from 30 mins trying to Console to Cisco 8500 WLC.
As per the Installation and Configuration Guide, I used DB-9 to RJ-45 Converter to console into the WLC. But Putty and Teraterm doesn't detect the console cable at all.
I tried to find the procedure from Cisco docs, but no luck.
I have connected VGA, USB ports to Monitor and Keyboard - Mouse and the boot process stuck at
Decompressing Linux......done.
Booting the kernel
I looked at the following post, which has same issue, but no resolution posted there
https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2234788
Any help as how to gain console access to the Cisco 8500 WLC using DB-9 to RJ-45 Converter and RF-45 cable.
Thanks,
CJ

Did you find any solution to this?. I am facing the same issue with a recently purchased 8510 WLC.
This box is similar to the ISE so I decided to use the VGA, USB ports to Monitor and Keyboard - Mouse but as indicated above, the boot process stuck at:
Decompressing Linux, done
Booting the kernel
Cisco sent the box with a DB-9 - 3.5mm termination (like headphone cable termination) black cable but the ports to connect that 3.5 termination to the WLC said in the Figure 1-6 of Cisco doc: "CONSOLE PORT NOT USED".
Looks like I should open a TAC Case. Any ideas?
thanks

USB to 422 Converter Woes

I have a USB to RS422 converter that was packaged with an IMS MDrive 23 stepper motor controller. I probably should have bought the NI Converter as I
can’t get LabView to write to the port. The device is nicely packaged with a
driver that makes it appear in Device Manager like a standard serial port.
M&A Explorer seems to like it and will open a VISA session.
I can’t get past the LabView standard VISA Write command. It issues a
“Could Not Perform operation because of an I/O error" or a “The specified
attribute is not defined or supported by the referenced resource" error.
When I reboot the motor controller, it issues a “reboot successful“message
that can be read from the port from LabView, so I am communicating with the
port and controller in one direction.
Without changing anything, HyperTerminal communicates
successfully.
Any ideas will be cheerfully and thankfully appreciated.

I have used the IMS converter with Labview, but only to test basic comms. If I recall, it echoed back the command, but I believe that can be disabled in the MDrive.

USB to Parallel Converter

Has anyone had success using any USB to parallel port converter? I've tried 3 different cables including one that supposedly supported the full IEEE-1284 standard, but all of them show up only as a virtual printer port. Is there a way to get access to this port through LabView? Are there any cables/converters out that actually show up as a regular parallel port? I've searched far and wide for one, but had no luck. I searched the boards to see if anyone had done this, but most of the posts were over a year old and had no resolution confirming whether or not a proposed solution worked or not. Thanks in advance for any help,
Travis

What OS are you using? I had the same problem with XP and LabVIEW 7.0 & &.1. But using the same USB-parallel port converter under WIN2k I was able to access this as a parallel port. In the end my solution was to go to a PCI parallel port which worked fine under both OSes.

I2C data send using USB-to-I2C converter

Hi guys me again
Just when things started to look good another trouble comes
We thought we will buy NI-8451 to implement I2C. We contacted NI also but suddenly another student comes and says we can implement I2C using Devantech USB-to-I2C converter..
Can it be implemented using VISA(all operation of I2C like read, write, ack, clock stretching)???
Thanks in advance

I never used that device, but ran across it while searching for alternate I2C and SPI devices. That uses a standard FTDI interface chip, so the device shows up as a serial device. So, yes, you'd be able to use VISA to communicate with it. Please check the documentation for the device in the future.
