Re: warning regarding mss100

[steve.cooper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Not seen this with my VFD mss100 unit but not sure I have ever tried to
reconfigure the port details.  I'll check later.

The mss100 port settings need to be set via the mss100 configuration web
pages so I can fully understand why when the app tries to reopen the port
with different setting that the app might hang.  Essential you will have
changed the app port setting but the mss100 with still be communicating on
the old basis.

Hi all,

While looking at a problem for Frank it turn's out the lantronix mss100
doesnt like being closed and re-opened from visual basic.

Although an application that uses an mss100 port open's ok, when you try to
configure it the xpl app (based on xpl_devcom) closes and reopens the com
port regardless of whether the com port (or any of it's settings) has
changed and the application totally hangs with a PC reboot seemingly the
only way to stop it.

Although xpl_devcom (and app's based on it) can be changed to _not_
close/open the com port if the com port number (or any settings) hasn't
been
changed, this doesn't help when you _do_ want to change the com port or any
of it's communication settings (if the app allows that)...

Anyone got any thoughts/experience on/of this please?

Thanks
Tony
