Implementation for Firewall box

[deanfourie1]

Hi, I would like to use this to read serial data from my Firewall in the event that the boot fails.

The firewall currently has a USB serial interface built in, and a serial RJ45 interface.

Will this project work for reading RS232 serial data over Ethernet?

Thanks

Hello, I guess you mean router. If its not srarted you probably wont have dhcp. So nothing would work unless you setup static ip. Note that the adapter code have to be modified for using static ip. Regards, Oleg.

Yea but im talking about connecting to it using serial.

I take it this is what this project is? I want to connect to the serial interface of my router over IP.

This adapter relies on DHCP service provided by the router. If you are going to use it with router down IP addresses should be configured as static. Currently there is no support for that in the adapter code.

I thought this project was to read RS232 data from a device?

Sure. But you need network operating with dhcp.

How do I connect to this? Would it be via SSH and then connect from there to Serial?

Thanks
