Using a serial port via kermit and a USB adapter

I have need to use a USB->Serial adapter for connecting to console ports (Firewalls, etc). I bought a nice Keyspan adapter for this.
First, I've not been able to find a version of kermit that will work on Snow Leopard. Anyone have an updated version?
Second, which device do we use for "set port /dev/ttyXXX" ? Is there some novel way that the system tells you which tty is mapped to which port?
I'm sure there must be more to it... there is a disc with these USB devices for OS X (though I'm not sure they'll work in Snow Leopard).
Thanks!

Take a look at GoSerial http://www.furrysoft.de/?page=goserial it configures the port and acts as a terminal. There is also the screen command in the terminal, and minicom you can get though macports.

Sending an ESC code using the serial port

I have a motor control aplication that requires sending an ESC character using the serial port. LabView has several built-in functions (end of line, line return, etc.) but I just do not know how to send this particular code using the serial port. Any ideas?

The hex code for ESC character is 1b, Try writing it in a 8 bit unsigned number and then change that byte to charachter using labview function "byte Array to string". In this way you can pass this charachter.

I can not communicate with the FP-1000, using the serial port.

FP-100 communication by serial port.
My problem is the communication with the interface FP-1000, I haven been using it for two month with my program application and suddenly it stopped to work. I tried to use the FieldPoint Explorer to communicate using its last configuration but it does not work. I have tried to configure again and the FieldPoint Explorer doe not find any module, also I have seen that the network and access LEDs don lit when I am trying to communicate with the FP-1000.
I have checked all connection and they are already, the FP-1000 turn on, and the status LEDs does not lit.
I guess the trouble is the RS-323 connector at the FP-1000.
Could you tell how can I solve this problem?

Hello,
There are a number of things that you can try when you are experiencing communication problems with a FP-1000.
First, double-check that the serial port that you are using is the same one that you are specifying in FieldPoint Explorer. Try using another serial port on the host computer. Try connecting the FP-1000 to another computer.
Make sure that you have FieldPoint Explorer version 3.0.2 or later. Free upgrades are available from the web.
I hope this helps,

I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

I've got the labview vi written to read my IMU data from a serial port in COM1 and it displays onto the table on the front panel. I'm having trouble getting this data onto an excel spreadsheet. Any ideas? Right now my data will collect one reading instead of continuously reading my IMU which displays data in a continuous stream.
Thanks

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Connection to serial port via USB adapter- error -2147221503

I am trying to drive a stepper motor provided with possible Labview or VB programs. This motor is supposed to be connected via serial port, but the computer has not some, so I bought an USB adpater to connect my motor via USB. I am using the labview programs provided (Labview 8.0). The program cannot connect to the port and returns error -2147221503. Where may I find some help with that ?
Thanks

I see references to 'Luminos'. Is this the provider of the stepper motor and LabVIEW code? If so, your first step should be to contact them. The whole VI is nothing but ActiveX properties and methods and the vendor would be the only one who knows what is going on.

Using a serial port under j9.. How?

I am trying out j9 on an ipaq. I am trying to get javax.comm to work.
When I call CommPortIdentifier.getIdentifiers ();
I get java.lang.string.NoSuchMethodError: java/lang/String.<init>([BIII)V
It would appear that the javax.comm package was implemented using a now deprecated String method, and that IBM has chosen not to implement deprecated methods in it's j9 vm (I get the same issue trying to run swing.)
One would think that what is needed is an updated javax.comm package. However, there doesn't appear to be a javax.comm package on Sun's site, let alone an updated one. Whats going on here? Can someone give me an idea of how Sun and/or the JCP thinks about developers who want to use serial ports?
Is there a workaround? A different way of talking to a serial port? Or should I abandon j9? I should add that I got my software running just fine on nsi.com's creme vm (javax.comm and swing too) and it worked without any hassles. It even understands jar files (is there a reason why IBM insists on having a link file?). However, the reason I persevered was that a) j9 is cheaper and more importantly b) nsi.com don't seem terribly keen on actually selling their product. I have lots of references to them selling their vm in bundles of 40 ($1000) which is a bit ouchy but hey I'm not paying for it. But, you'd think the nsi.com people would actually confirm this on their site?
So.. can it be done? And why, in the world of embedded systems (my field) and now lots of phones and pdas, is so little attention given to the humble serial port? It doesn't matter how fancy the protocol is, underneath it all is a UART. grumble

Hi Russel,
I will probably soon be in the position you are in trying to get this to work. I found the following page which offers some promise.

Can't use ch340g serial port driver since upgrading to Yosemite on MacBook air

I use my MacBook air with the Arduino 1.0.6 IDE. Since upgrading ( free upgrade) to Yosemite. I can no longer acess the ch340g serial port. (does not show up in arduino ide). I tried re-installing the driver. I get no errors and am told the install was successful. This was working very nicely before the upgrade. I now have three boards I cannot use. I am at a loss as to what I should do. I suppose I could go back to Maverick but then I would have to go buy the operating system. This seems wrong to me. I was offered an upgrade that then leaves me up the creek without a paddle. Any help given would be highly appreciated.

I have the same problem, a non stable CM341 serial to tty driver on Yosemity on a MacbookPro Retina.
I followed the advice of Rsattaur, I executed the command: sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" and now I have big problems with my USB-ports.
The result is a screen-of-death after connecting anything to my USB-ports!!!!

Serial Port Profile (SPP) and Object Push Profile (OPP)

I just bought a new Blackberry Curve 8320. And am having several difficulties with it which I will list separately.
With other phones (like the Motorola RAZR V3t) I could send contacts from my Pocket PC HP iPaq via Bluetooth. When I try to do this with the Blackberry, the Pocket PC says that it cannot connect to the Object Push Profile (OPP) in the remote device (which is the Blackberry).

Using separate ethernet ports for LAN and internet

Following scenario:
A couple of Lion clients and a Lion server connected to a switch. Switch connected to router for internet access. All devices, clients, server and router are in the same C-Class net.
I'd like to connect the Lion server with 2 ethernet ports to the switch, so that one port is solely used for connections to the Lion clients (aka LAN) and the other port is solely used for connections to the internet. That way heavy LAN traffic to/from the server cannot bog down internet access to the server. Any ideas how to acomplish that?
Usually you would configure the Lion server as a router and connect the Lion clients (via a switch) to one port and the cable modem to the other, so both ports are in different subnets. But I don't want all internet traffic from the clients going through the Lion server.
The best I've come up so far was to configure both ethernet ports with static IP addresses. The one connecting to the clients with a 255.255.255.0 netmask but no router IP given. The one for internet with a 255.255.255.255 netmask and the router IP set to my physical router IP. It seems to work, but I'm not sure, whether this is the suggested way to do such a setup.
Maybe some manual editing of the routing table is are more solid solution?
Any tips appreciated.
Pete

What you want to do can be done but maybe not the way you are trying.
First yes, you would use two Etherner ports on the Mac, if it is a Mac Pro or XServe it has two built-in, other Mac models can do this using a USB Ethernet interface.
Next, the way I would normally do this is to have a separate switch for the WAN router, this would make the setup look like the following
LAN Switch ----- Server ------------ Router --- Internet
       | |                             |
       | |                            NAT
       | +-----------------------------+
       |
       +------ Client Devices
The router could be doing NAT via one interface, or a separate Firewall box could do the NAT.
Another possible way would involve segmenting the lan switch by setting up a VLAN and putting one port for the Servers second Ethernet connection on to that VLAN (using public IP addresses and the a connection to the router on that VLAN, the LAN switch could then route between the two VLANs. Cheaper LAN switches do not have this ability.

How to use the serial port

hello
I would like to know if there is other library than comm to use to establish communication with the serial port ..
can we do this with pure java ,I mean without the need of using any library ???
if not then what is the best library to use ???
any examples ??
I have other question
when i use the library comm
I use the public void serialEvent(SerialPortEvent event) to get my data
but that data comme line by line
is there a way to get all the data at once ???
than kyou in advance

There you go

Im already using it
but am asking if there any other lib that will work for windows
thank you

Use of Serial Numbers in Deliveries and Goods Issue

Hi,
We are using externally created serial numbers in Sales deliveries. At the time of creation of Serial Number we are maintaining Plant code in Stock Data and creating an Equipment for every serial number.
Now at the time of Delivery when user assigns serial numbers then system is allowing using Serial Number created in a Plant to be used in other Plant. Moreover I am able to use same serial number twice i.e. Serial Numbers which were used for the goods already delivered can be used again for other deliveries.
Though this process is related to Delivery but the same situation is there at the time of GR also.
If somebody have faced simmilar situation may be in different process then pl. suggest any solution.
SM

Hi Everyone!
Lot of similar questions but with no answer.
I have found out an answer to the below and thought of sharing it with all for the sake of the community.
The setting(if at all available) that has
to be maintained to avoid the scenerio: a serial number if already posted in
the goods issue document should not allow for further goods issue for the
same material serial number combination.
Solution:
1) Check from the material master data of the material that you are doing the PGI for, the serialization profile used for it.
2) Go to Tcode : OIS2, check the box for ExistReq, and make StkCk as 2.
3) Go to Tcode : OIS2, select that serialization profile, and go to serializing procedures.
4) Dont alter any procedures that are there, just add
SDCR-Completion check IR delivery with SerUsage value as 03 and EqR value as 01,
In case, this is already maintained, change the values to 03 and 01 for SDCR - Completion check IR delivery.
This will give an information message while usage of serial number for PGI, with same message BS011 and IO233 but will not let you do the PGI and save the document.
Thanks & Regards,
Dipti.

List serial port fail in and I have exhausted all combination

Background: If admintool can set serial I could have set it with a click.
The error is "list serial port fail in "
url:geocities.com/worldlinking/index.htm
SO please help and guide.
sunlearner.

I have exactly the same problem:
ASUS A7V133 Motherboard, Athlon 1.33Ghz
Solaris 8 Release 10/01.
ALL Recommended and Security patches installed.
Device Config Assistant lists the ports as standard 16550 UARTS, which is correct - ASUS mention nothing 'special' about them.
prtconf shows both ports with asy not attached.
devfsadm does not change that. ports command has no effect.
No /dev/tty/ttya or /dev/tty/ttyb or /dev/term/a etc.
admintool says 'list serial port failed'
ttymon has service entries for ttya and ttyb :
#pmadm -l -s ttya
zsmon ttymon ttya u root /dev/term/a I - /usr/bin/login - 9600 ldterm,ttcompat ttya login: - tvi925 y
