I have a scenario where I demonstrated to my group @ work how to share a very expensive USB patient simulator plugged into a Raspberry Pi (Debian) using socat. The group wants to be able to have an on-demand, bi-directional connection to the serial device over Ethernet. Presently I have the device broadcasting via Telnet.

Two new versions of socat are available in the Cygwin distribution: 1.7.3.1-1. Your installation, click on the 'Install Cygwin now' link on the.

Myers operative otolaryngology pdf books. I was thinking Cygwin & socat on the Windows side, but I'm not a very skilled Windows guy.

I understood your question so that you want a Windows pc to be able share the serial port in the same way you can make a Linux box to share the port using socat. There are open source applications for example in sourceforge.net that can connect tcp socket with a serial port in Windows. Also, just google 'serial to ip' or 'ip to serial'. One simple example is 'SerialToIP' It is developed in C#. It has command line and GUI versions available, but serial port control is minimal but that might be enough for your needs based on the socat-example.

Depending on how detailed serial port control needs you have and if your application needs to run whether a Windows user is logged in or not, you should select the application that fits your needs. GUI applications in Windows by default require the user to be logged in to work. BTW, your socat-command has nothing to do with the Telnet-protocol. You are just creating a pure and simple TCP/IP 'pipe' that connects to a serial port. Traktor dj download utorrent. Any possible top-layer protocols carried inside that 'pipe' are irrelevant to the question and answers.

What is socat? Socat is a computer networking utility for reading from and writing to network connections using TCP or UDP. Developed by Gerhard Rieger - How to install in Windows 1. Download and install Cygwin from 2. Install additional Cygwin packages: - gcc-g++ - gcc-core - cygwin32-gcc-g++ - cygwin32-gcc-core - make 3. Download socat current version 4. Open Cygwin prompt and chage to directory where downloaded socat tar zxvf socat-1.7.3.2.tar.gz cd socat-1.7.3.2./configure make make install Done!

Nice things to do with socat.
