Wrong data with com port redirection
Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2017 11:15 am
Hi there,
just found this tool and would love to work with it.
I use it to connect to our Windows RD Server and it is pretty easy to set up. Just one thing won't work.
We have a barcode-scanner that must be connected via RS232 (the Windows-Software requires a COM-Port). The port settings are 9600, 7bit, 2-stopbits, parity-even. I use a Serial-USB converter to connect the scanner an in my config.txt I have
serial=COM5(usb)
I see the redirected port on the Windows side, I can open it, but when I monitor the data is wrong. It seems, the first bit of each byte is a "1" when it should be a "0".
We have all of this running with a Windows client and a Linux client both connected via RDP without any problem. I wrote a small python script to monitor the port on the RPi unter Raspbian and the data is correct.
So, the hardware works, the port redirection works, it seems the problem is within WTware (tried 5.4.68 and 5.4.62).
Do you have any idea what I can do to fix this?
