USB/Network to serial converter support   
Does QNX support any of the devices that convert from USB to serial? How about network-to-serial?

I am interested in connecting multiple serial devices to a laptop, and am considering the Comtrol USB-serial hub, 
Comtrol network-serial hub, or perhaps using several individual USB-serial converters. Any info or advice would be 
appreciated.

Thanks,

Kevin

RE: USB/Network to serial converter support   
Network to serial sounds a bit strange... Are you thinking of something
that does Ethernet to serial or something like PPP which is network over
serial?

Re: RE: USB/Network to serial converter support   
Ethernet-to-serial coversion.  We want to control three devices (or maybe more) that only accept serial input, using a 
laptop which, at most, has only one serial port. I was considering something like this:

RE: RE: USB/Network to serial converter support   
No luck with us supporting that out of the box (i.e. Ethernet to
multi-serial).  That's a proprietary implementation.  If they provide
the appropriate packet formats, it's likely straight forward in terms of
making it work, but that would be development on your side.

Re: RE: USB/Network to serial converter support   
Have a look at www.moxa.com

They have moxattyd utility (for UNIXes, can be easily ported to QNX).

We used Nport 5610, probably they have also newer models now.

http://www.moxa.com/doc/manual/nport/5600/NPort_5600_Manual_v5.pdf

Hope this helps.

We use Moxa nport 5450.

I have tried to configure moxattyd.cf, but not succeed yet.

For example:
ttyp0   10.31.80.80          950
ttyp1   10.31.80.80          951
ttyp2   10.31.80.80          952
ttyp3   10.31.80.80          953

What ever i have to put to the moxattyd.cf file ?

Should i start some (tty/ptyp/serial/...) driver before starting the moxattyd ?

In windows XP and it's drivers everything works fine with the Moxa, but not in QNX.

It seems to work with settings:

ttypa   10.31.80.80          950
ttypb   10.31.80.80          951
ttypc   10.31.80.80          952
ttypd   10.31.80.80          953

ttyp0 - ttyp3 were in use in some another program.
