Hello,
I'm perplexed in using a RS232C->RS485 dongle that worked perfectly on a
Debian Lenny box for years. Now that I'm migrating to Debian Wheezy,
albeit, different mobo (Intel mini-itx D2500CC) and serial card
(RocketPort), this dongle doesn't work as before.
The dongle sourced working power *from* the host serial port
(cannibalizing DTR, etc?). Using the RocketPort, I have to power the
dongle separately and create a simple data only pass-thru (TX\RX\GND, no
other connections) connection for this dongle to function.
So I don't know if there are voltage level differences on the DTR etc
that result in the failure to power the dongle from the serial port.
Also, having examined the serial port configs with stty between the two
machines, and making all the settings identical, I don't understand why
I have to create the data only pass-thru for communication to work. All
hw\sw flow controls are identical between the working machine and the
new machine... at least as far as stty reports.
1) What serial pin can reliably measure to determine voltage level for
the port (i.e. 12V, 5V, 3.3V)?
2) What else might be different between the working machine and the new
machine with respect to serial port config?
3) Is there an stty config that should effectively provide me with the
same "port config\functionality" that the data only pass-thru adapter
gives me (i.e., can I achieve in software config what I'm doing in
hardware)?
The working (and duplicated) stty config is:
speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt
= ^R;
werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 0; time = 0;
