I have a KAT500 ATU that I want to remote control over the home network and over the internet when I'm at the winter QTH. I can run the 500 connected to my local laptop with the Eleraft-supplied usb cable. Now I'd like to run it remotely. Bought a Lantronix serial server https://www.lantronix.com/products/uds2100/ and it looks like it will work. I have it running connected to the network and the KAT500 but the Elecraft utility wants to find a COM port! So how do I get it to look on the internet for the serial server? Maybe it's a question for lantronix but since the elecraft remote utility is looking for a com port instead of an iP address in the internet, I am at a stopping point. Any help would be appreciated.

I don't have experience with it, but the answer is on the page you provided a link to: "Using Lantronix supplied Com Port Redirector software, Windows® device applications not designed for network communications are re-directed to communicate to devices connected to the UDS2100." "Built into the included Com Port Redirector software, TruPort® technology enables Windows-based applications to access and control serial ports on the UDS2100 as if they were actually local PC serial ports." So you need to install that (Com Port Redirector software) on your Windows PC. It appears to be available at: https://www.lantronix.com/products/com-port-redirector/ 73, ~iain / N6ML ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[hidden email] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [hidden email] |
