Does anyone know of software that can present an Ethernet connection to an application as a Comm. port? I have a Z-world EM1000 on a device and would like to use that device's software to configure it from my PC. I'd prefer to use my
PC's Ethernet card rather than an external device.
Perhaps what I'm asking for sounds simple, but is actually more complex. Here are the options I have considered:
1. I could put a second EM1000 at my PC and go out the serial port from EM1000 to the other EM1000. This works great, but means that I have to reconfigure the local EM1000 each time I want to connect to another device.
2. TCP/Comm from TALTech can do the job, but I have to go out through a serial port across a cable and back into my PC on a serial port and then out through my Ethernet card.
3. Lantronix Redirector software does not run properly on my laptop. I'm going to test it on a simpler machine, but it seems to be quite finicky about when and where it actually works.
If you folks have other suggestions that you have tried or have heard about, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks
