Hi every:
I need some help!
Recently, I bought a serial-to-usb converter cable so that I can connect my
ts-7200 to my computer. Before actually power my board up, I did a test. I hook
up the converter to my linux ubuntu PC. The user guide said using minicom as
the communication tool. So, I followed all the instructions and set port to
/dev/ttyUSB0, baud rate to 9600, 8 data bits, no parity check, 1 stop bit and
no hardware or software control. (When I typed dmesg | tail. The system says
"pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0". I assume system have found the
hardware and assign it to ttyUSB0?)
However, after exiting from the minicom setup window and going to the main
windows, it says I am in offline status and I wasn't able to type anything in
the window. I only connected the USB end to my PC and leave the other
end(serial) unconnected. Is it because of this that I get offline status? or I
have wrong setups. How can I test whether the minicom is properly configured
and ready for communication?
Thanks,
Yang
