Hi there,
with our Windows fat clients we had shortcuts for opening our cash drawer. It was connected via com-port on one PC and could only be operated from this client.
Now with the thin clients we want to do this from every client in the IP-range. So the cash drawer is still connected to one client but all the other clients should map the com-port and run a little program to operate the com-port. So everybody can open the drawer.Is that possible? Maybe with some additional hardware like an “ethernet com-port” or sth. like that. Some kind of hardware that can be integrated into a network and has a serial port onboard.
cheers,
MichaelHi,
If its only one serial device you could use someting like this:

There are also hardware solutions that allow to send serial coms over IP, you would then allow all users on the termianl server to accress the port,
Cheers,

The hardware version would be more useful but I think much more expensive.
How can I connect to the serial port of one 1125se through the software? Is there a special command to send data to it? In Windows we used a program on one client to send an impulse to the com port of that client. That worked pretty good … for one PC.
cheers,
Michael
