Is there a way to acomplish this already? If not, I would like to ask for a feature request on this, please. I am intended to use the serial interface rs-232 transparently via socket connection on a MT device. Is that even possible? Thanks.
This would be great.. then we could use Mikrotik to offload SCADA system information, or even remotely connect serial-based cash registers,terminals and such… YES YES YES… I could really use this feature! Mikrotik could be a usable solution (and fairly inexpensive) to use for SCADA and even be able to transport digital video from remote monitoring sites…
USB-Serial support would really take it home because then we could add some more serial ports via USB… (if it doesn’t already have it)…
You can setup a user account on mikrotik and assign it to a special-login on the serial port - then when you SSH into the box using that userid it will automatically patch you over to that serial port. I think it’s somewhat undocumented.
List of console commands under “/special-login”:
special-login add user= port= copy-from=
Sam
you can also use serial-terminal, almost the same as the special-login, but can be issued at any time.
note, either option does require the console to not be bound to the serial port (system console, I think)
