Question

Hi, 

we struggle with establishing communication with device connected to RUT955's RS232 port:

PC [currently connected to router via WIFI] [sends specific request via TCPIP to device] > RUT955 < [RS232] device 

PC [should receive response via TCPIP from device] < RUT955 < [RS232] device 

We can communicate with device directly via RS232, so that the requests used/sent are valid.

We've tried to use Hercules/.NET libs to check communication:

A. When we connect loop-back connector to router's RS232 port (no leading zeros turned off), we receive couple of meaningful bytes in 64*1024 bytes long response (the tcp buffer is then 64*1024?)

B. When we connect device to router's RS232 port (no leading zeros turned on/off), it does not evince signs of received request and neither we don't receive any response in network stream

Is there any special configuration/approach needed to successfully establish a connection and communication with our device?

We'll appreciate any suggestion, tips&tricks, remote support.

Thanks!

RUT955 FW version: RUT9XX_R_00.06.07.7

RS232 Serial Configuration is set based on configuration defined by device manufacturer

Hello, 

Regarding the configuration, you are testing as default Over IP functionality enables you to reach the serial device with the TCP/IP port it is listening to. In your case, it would be best if the said device connected to your RUT955 is running a service on TCP/IP port 6666. Also for bidirectional communication, it would be best to do this with Bidirect mode.

For the proper way of testing, it should be like this: Testing Document

Also, it would be best to apply the latest firmware available on this link: RUT955 Firmware Downloads - Teltonika Networks Wiki (teltonika-networks.com)

I hope it helps

Hi, I'm trying to do the same thing but from RS232 to RS232 can you help me with that?

I tried the manual that you send and its working for me.
