Interesting. I have also been thinking that it might not be too difficult to implement using Beaglebone Black, Raspberry PI, or even one or another flavour of Arduino. Lots of possibilities from simple to not so simple. cheers, Graham ve3gtc On 2014-11-23 21:38, Neil Schroeder wrote: If

I have done a bit of searching and found that what I want to do is nothing really new and their are several off the shelf applications which will work just fine - linux and Windows based hence the mention of the Raspberry PI and Beaglebone Black. Some of the higher end Arduinos (i.e. Yu) are

There is a protocol for ending serial commands over telnet (tcp): RFC2217 See http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2217 A number of command line tools, like ser2net and netcat use the protocol. Some of the small serial servers support it and it can make using serial remotely tunneled over tcp seamless.

Thanks all for the replies. After a couple of replies and the reference to terminal server a light bulb came on and put it all into perspective, including a vague recollection of some previous postings. cheers, Graham ve3gtc On 2014-11-22 19:59, Chris Albertson wrote: On Sat, Nov 22, 2014

Graham, There are a number of WiFi to serial modules like the one I use on my Thunderbolt monitor: The Microchip WiFly RN-XV-171. Once configured (typically using a PC), they will present a TCPIP port (TCP or UDP) from which you can get and send data directly to the serial port. Alternately,

Didier has a good suggestion as to the serial to Wifi adapter. I may order one for my Z3801. Looking on Amazon, I see these two units that are more reasonably priced: http://www.amazon.com/Keynice-Ethernet-Intelligent-Communication-Wireless/dp/B00JTUVA0G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1?ie=UTF8

I haven't used this particular model. I have used similar units from Systech, purchased on eBay for less than $30 US. They work quite well. Some of them have selectable RS-232/RS-485 outputs. I've successfully used both types of outputs. The only problem I've had was the initial

Hi If you go the auction site route, be careful of the boxes that have a password on them that can not easily be reset. Back when they were new, a trip back to the factory would reset the password. These days - no more support on the older boxes. The same caution applies to some of the older
