Hi I use terminal servers since over 5 years with no problems.
As Cezary said, you should use rawtcp or telnet mode to conect to the modems connected to your moxa device. Therefore no need to install any driver nor kernel module. That is only needed if you want your OS to show ethernet port as a virtual local serial port and then have kannel connected to the local virtual serial port. You should define each of your modems with its IP and port so kannel will connect directly to it via TCP/IP: group = smsc smsc = at smsc-id = modem1 log-level = 0 modemtype = auto speed = 115200 log-file = "/var/log/kannel/modem1.log" allowed-smsc-id = modem1;modem3 sim-buffering = true keepalive = 60 max-error-count = 8 ################################ #### SETTINGS PARA ACCESO VIA #### TERMINAL SERVER device = rawtcp <<<<<<<<< THIS SETUP WILL ALLOW YOU TO host = 10.10.5.3 <<<<<<<<< CONECT DIRECTLY TO YOUR MODEM port = 2100 <<<<<<<<<< ON THE MOXA DEVICE Hope helps Regards Alvaro On 6/1/12, Cezary Siwek <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Long time ago I've been playing with a regular serial modems + terminal > server. > The terminal server exposes each modem on a different tcp port.
