Hi all,
I've purchased the serial version of the gateway. First connected the serial interface connector of the gateway directly to the serial interface of the PC running Ubuntu Server. No respons. Then I purchased a serial extension cable (male-female) and still no respons. I think syslog should show some message, right? I tried connecting the power first and then the serial cable and the other way around. Am I doing something wrong? Probably something stupid...
Thanks in advance.

Re: Serial version: no connection at all
Connecting a device to a serial port doesn't normally result in messages in syslog.
I suggest you go through the troubleshooting procedures (updated today!) to see if you get any messages from the gateway.

Re: Serial version: no connection at all
Have you directly connected to the serial interface to see if anything happens there?
For example use minicom:
Select "Serial port setup"
Set option A (Serial Device) to you serial device (something like /dev/tty... )
Set option E (Bps/Par/Bits) to 9600 8N1
Then hit [ENTER] to return to the main menu and choose Exit. This will make you exit the setup invoked by the "-s" option and start the communication according to the parameters you just entered.
Now you should be able to enter:
And the gateway should respond with version information.
For example use minicom:
Code: Select all
sudo minicom -s
Set option A (Serial Device) to you serial device (something like /dev/tty... )
Set option E (Bps/Par/Bits) to 9600 8N1
Then hit [ENTER] to return to the main menu and choose Exit. This will make you exit the setup invoked by the "-s" option and start the communication according to the parameters you just entered.
Now you should be able to enter:
Code: Select all
