EKM Metering

hello,

i have the iserial . i am simply using this as a 232/tcp ip converter for computer work.

i am simply using it in place of connecting to a serial port on my laptop.

the problem i am currently having is every single entry input, actually sends it twice.

as you can see by the above, it actually sent the word manager twice. please tell me there is some easy fix for this and i didn't just waste 90 bucks

this is a router, totally different hardware, still sending everything twice?

i messed with this a bit more. it seems every single character is sent twice? i even attempted it off a xp machine with straight telnet, i was unsing win7 and putty.


any help would be extremely great!

Hello LittleBill,

Welcome to the forum.

Addition: In some terminal type programs you can turn off "echo". This is probably the first place I would look.

We are not familiar with using the iSerial in this way (logging in via telnet or Putty). Are you able to log into your iSerial using a web browser? (Firefox is best). Just point your browser to 192.168.1.125 (login with admin and pw admin).

Are you using the iSerial with your own software?

Is the RS232 or RS485 data also doubled? I would first use the EKM Dash to try to read a meter (sounds like maybe you do not have a meter, but at least you will generate a meter request). You can then sniff the data to see if you are getting doubles.

Here is a link to the EKM Dash software: http://www.ekmmetering.com/meter-software

There is a link on this page to the VCOM software if you want to administrate your iSerial: http://www.ekmmetering.com/information/ ... links.html

Thanks,

yes i log in fine via browser.

im simply using this to connect to serial ports on computer equipment. i am using the 232 port.

i have no meter or anything like this.

i use putty daily. this program does not send echo,only when connected via this adapter

it is only when sending a input, it does not repeat when data is output to the device as the screenshots above show

OK, try the EKM Dash, like I had posted before and let us know your results.

And also let me know if you can log in via a web browser.

not found? can we get the link fixed?

also what os versions are supported with this?

i just wanted to update this thread a bit.

i was apparently using the device wrong, i ordered another device that was similar(but much higher priced) and had identical issues.

after an hour on the phone with technical support we came to the conclusion i needed virtual com software. after dling a version of this, both devices started working flawlessly for me.

thus i will be sending back my new device and using my EKM which works great now that i understand what the HECK i am doing!

Give the link a try now: http://documents.ekmmetering.com/vcomsetup.exe.zip
