Title: QQest Goldsuite2
Post by anders_georgsson on Aug 30th, 2007, 5:04pm
I am trying to communicate with a serial timeclock,
it works if I run on the PC that the clock is connected to,
but when I try to access it from a remote PC, it doesn't see the clock... According to the software, connection is established!  I have another serial device, that DOES work! Is there some kind of LOG that I can produce to give more information?

Hi,

Usually we use portmon program to monitor serial traffic.
Please download it from here:
http://download.sysinternals.com/Files/PortMon.zip

Please use the following portmon setting:
Edit -> Max Output Bytes -> 1024
Options -> Show Time [x]
Options -> Show Hex [x]
Options -> Clock Time [ ]


Experiment 1
============

Remote PC (physical COM port)

1) Launch portmon
2) Configure portmon to capture data from physical COM port: Capture -> Ports -> ...
3) Launch communications program and work with your device for some time. Then close communications program.
4) Save captured data to file: File -> Save As -> remote1.log


Experiment 2
============

Remote PC (physical COM port)
1) Launch NSPK and share physical COM port
2) Launch portmon
3) Configure portmon to capture data from physical COM port: Capture -> Ports -> ...


Local PC (virtual COM port)
1) Launch NSPK and create virtual COM port connector (redirected to physical COM port of the remote PC)
2) Launch portmon
3) Configure portmon to capture data from virtual COM port: Capture -> Ports -> ...
4) Launch communications program and work with your device for some time. Then close communications program.
5) Save captured data to file: File -> Save As -> local2.log

Remote PC (physical COM port)
4) Save captured data to file: File -> Save As -> remote2.log


Please send us there 3 log files: remote1.log, local2.log and remote2.log


Thanks
