Sending to Remote TCP Port

[smartloxs]

I want to use Coolterm to communicate to a serial device connected to a remote serial server (MOXA) Is it possible to enter network address and port number ?
Like 192.168.127.254:4001 ?
I am using the MAC version of Coolterm.

Thanks for any help on this.

No, CoolTerm can not do this. What you need is a Serial-TCP/IP bridge. I wrote an application several years ago that is exactly that. It's only a development release, but it may do what you need it to do.
I added you to the "Beta Testers" group, i.e. when you log on to the forums, you should have access to the "Beta Testers" topics where you can find information on how to access beta releases of my freeware. The Serial2TCPBridge app can be downloaded from there as well.

I too would like to try accessing a serial device over a network. Could you please add me to your beta testers?
thanks

Hi Roger:

Is your Serial2TCPBridge app still available? I just started using a new instrument that requires connecting to a TCP/IP address rather than a COM port. I'd be interested to see if your app will work; I'd like to request access to download it if it's still available.

Thanks,
Nic

Hi Nic,

I added you to the beta testers group, and you should now have access to the "Beta Testers" topic.
