Hey Guys,
I'm in charge of a data collection (server) application. Right now we scan a bunch of COM Ports that represent barcode scanners. What I am looking for is a device that I can hook these barcode scanners into, have this device transmit all this information back to the server application listening on a IP and one port. A serial port identifier would be placed in the data stream that would indicate which COM port on the device the data originated from ...
I.e. i listen on 12.56.43.23, port 6690. As the barcode readers scan barcodes, i get the data in a format similiar to
{01}Barcode just scanned
OR
{02}Barcode just scanned
where {01} or {02} is which com port on the device the data came from.
How do your units work in comparison to this example ?
