I'm trying to get this configuration working:
winA <-> 232/485 <-> tap <-> 485/232 <-> winB
winA and winB are Windows computers with their serial ports connected to a pair of RS232/485 convertors (I have two each of B&B Model 485SD9R and 485LP9N and tried tried every combination).
The SerialTap is connected to IO Ninja (also running on winA).
I've been using PuTTY (because it is trivially easy to set it up to test a serial connection) and I can send characters from winB and see them appear on winA's screen. Strangely, IO Ninja is only showing CTS changing on and off. No characters at all.
Nothing is going the opposite direction and I think I need something a bit more sophisticated than PuTTY for force the appropriate signals high on the convertors, but that's not why I'm here. I don't understand why IO Ninja w/Serial Tap isn't showing the characters that are being displayed on the receiving system. Oh, FWIW, they are the same characters I was entering on winB, so they aren't random noise or anything.
Any ideas?
Oh, I'm still using IO Ninja v3.15.1a
