Re: Sending commands to serial port connected device

In case anyone is interested, this actually works with *zero* configuration
on either the desktop or the device. You just have to enable serial port
redirection in the TSC on the device and write your code for the desktop to
use the corresponding serial port (COM2 on the desktop --> COM2 on the
device,
when the device is connected). This makes it very easy to do your scanner
configuration. Use whatever code you use on the desktop to make it happen,
on the desktop, and, when you run the program via a terminal services client
session, the data will be automatically redirected to the device's serial
port.

I have a whole new respect for this TSC stuff. I would have bet $50 that it
wouldn't work.

True! Just depends on what you're doing on the desktop. If you've really
got a client that you don't want to do *anything* custom on, it should
work (I have a test to do today and I'll try it).

Paul,

Seem like way to much work. Simple (almost always) is best.
