Hi-

I am trying to talk to a DNP device via a port server. It doesn’t seem to be working, the only thing I can think of at this point is that perhaps the driver cannot communicate with a serial DNP3 device through an ethernet to serial port server?

Thanks,

Jeff

It’s hard to say without knowing more about how it’s not working. Is there just no response at all from the device? Can you capture traffic with Wireshark?
