comm2ip's Issues

Supporting more than 5 links?

You say it supports up to 5 links (code configurable).

By "code configurable" do you mean I can just add more bindings in the config file and it will just work or I have to modify the source code and recompile?

If this requires editing the source could you give me a little clue as to where I should make this change?

Thanks a lot! Hope the issue tracker is an ok place to ask this question.

Bombs

At least on Windows 10 64 bit, this bombs if you use any other than 127.0.0.1 as an address. The service mode doesn't show any sign of bombing - but doesn't work.

Prevent comm2ip from echoing back the commands I send it to the terminal.

I'm running the comm2ip service on a windows 7 box.

I have a comm port connected to a Cisco router's console port.

I connect to the win 7 box running the service via putty and I'm redirected to the comm port connect to the router.

So far the program has been working great except for one thing. It echos back all of the commands I type to the terminal. For example if I type "show interfaces" it will echo "show interfaces" back to the terminal before running the actual command.

Is there a way to disable this behavior?

Serial port not accessible for fast reconnect.

I found a little trouble in case of serial reconnect. If the serialport is closed and opened just after I got a "System.UnauthorizedAccessException" for unavailable port.
To reprocude it, try to do a fast socket reconnection.

Note from SerialPort.Close method msdn docs:

The best practice for any application is to wait for some amount of time after calling the Close method before attempting to call the Open method, as the port may not be closed instantly.

To avoid this I suggest to create a single SerialPort per port and use always the same object for each tcp socket thread. Moreover, I think the Send() method to SerialPort should be synchronized between threads.

Anyway, thanks for this nice library!
