Guest Legatus Posted August 13, 2008 Posted August 13, 2008 I am running a couple of 2k3-R2 servers as Terminal Servers . The majority of my users are connecting to the TS by means of WYSE S10 and WT1125SE, wyse ThinOS. On a couple of them I need a modem connected on the com port. The application running on the TS need to connect to the modem connected to the com port on the Wyse terminal client. I have com port redirection enabled on both of my TermServs. On the 1125SE's and S10(thin OS) I dont know the command to map the com port to the thin client. Can anyone help please! /Jim On the 3125(CE.NET) there is RDP settings to bring the com port to the local machine...but this doesnt work either. So in short. Is there anyone here that has had success in mapping com ports to thin clients that are non XPembedded driven? I can get this to work fine if using RDP sessions from an XP workstation or XPe thin client. However I dont want to have to replace all of my equipment if I can get it working on existing thin clients.
Guest Oliver Schröder Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Com port redirection TS 2K3, RDP Jim, RDP com-port redirection should work fine with any thin-client supporting RDP 5.1 or higher. There is no "command" to redirect the ports, you just have to check the appropriate checkbox. If there is no such checkbox, the integrated RDP-client does not support com-port redirection. Maybe then there is a firmware-update for the thin-client. You have to ask the manufacturer. The problem with Linux-ThinClients is that their RDP-support is only 95 % Microsoft-conform. So often things do not work exactly as they should. With Windows CE.NET is should work absolutly fine. Same as with an Windows XP Client. After connectig to the TS open cmd.exe and use "change port /query" to see if the ports are redirected. Sorry for my English.

Guest Legatus Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 Re: Com port redirection TS 2K3, RDP Thanks for this.. Have checked the command and it looks OK. The output looks like this: AUX = \DosDevices\COM1 COM1 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM1:15\tsclient\COM1 COM2 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM2:15\tsclient\COM2 COM3 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;COM3:15\tsclient\COM3 LPT1 = \Device\RdpDrPort\;LPT1:15\tsclient\LPT1 PRN = \DosDevices\LPT1 But when I add a modem to com1 on the server nothing happens, no respons from the modem on the terminal client? Also test the "query" optiion from the modem properties on the server. When I did this a didod on the modem "lights up, so I guess there are some connection. Grateful for all input on this. PS Have never tried this before so i'm an beginner whit this..
