I am trying to administer a Legend R7.0 V9 processor control unit accros an IP network. I am using a Precidia Technologies Ether-232 serial server and com port redirector software in conjunction with WinSPM 7.0 (sort of a poor man's SocketMagix). I can communicate with another PC serial-to-serial across the IP network but I cannot communicate with the Legend controller. I assume that the admin port on the Merlin Legend is pinned as a DCE device. I do not have a breakout box so I am at a loss. Could anyone tell me how the admin port interface is configured (or where to find this information as it is not in the system maintenance or programming manual. I am also interested in the communications settings (i.e: handshake, flow control, etc..) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Merlin Legend Admin Port

Refer to thread575-344459
I used TouchToneTommy's db9 pinouts and they work great, both with the Legend 7.0 RS-232 port and the Merlin Messaging 2.5 RS-232 port. A lot cheaper than a 355A, and no need for a DB25 to DB9 adapter.
BTW, I use PC Anywhere across the WAN (or LAN) to get to the machine with WINSPM and Merlin Messaging Administration on it.
