Serial tunneling

Serial Servers & Infrastructure Mangement Portserver TS

I’m trying to connect a serial Palm Pilot to a Linux server. Using RealPort is not an option.

I’m connecting a PortServerTS 2 and a PortServer TS MEI 4 via peer-to-peer serial tunneling. Do the changes in the RS-232 control lines get transmitted when tunneling, or does only data get transmitted?

2

Only data gets transmitted. Control signals are typically local, i.e. between a serial port and whatever is connected to it.

3

Does Digi have any products that can do this?

4

Which signal(s) do you need to transmit the state of?

These are the pins that are on the connector:

DCD, RxD, TxD, Ground, RTS, CTS
