Can I set up a COM Port that Connects via TCP/IP?
- by Kristopher Johnson
I have an RS232 device connected to a Digi PortServer on my network. I can telnet to the Digi's IP and port number to communicate with that RS232 device.
I have a Windows application that knows how to talk to the device, but it wants to connect directly to an RS232 port.
So, my question: Is there some way to set up a COM port so that when this application connects to it, it goes through the network to the Digi to communicate with the device?
I have run across the utility TCP-Com, which seems like it might be a solution. Is this the best option?
