I have a Digi PortServer TS 8 and a TS 16 that I bought from different sources, and I'm having trouble getting either to work properly. I've seen a few of you talk about it, so I'm hoping you might have some tips.
I'm trying to connect via the first serial port to my laptop. I've tried a number of different cables, including building one myself following the guide on Digi's website. All I get though is a string of garbage characters over the serial port. I've tried all different baud rates with the same results. I've set both units back to factory defaults as well.
If I connect the ethernet cable I see it issue RARP requests but I'm not sure how to set up a RARP server to give it an IP address. Can any of you help shed some light on this?
Thanks
