Hello,
I have a Wyse 5010 (D10DP), which is connecting to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server running Remote Desktop Services. I’m using the RDP protocol. I’m trying to plug an USB / Serial Interface cable into my Thin Client and forward this USB device over RDP to the Windows server. I planned on plugging the console side of the cable into Cisco switches to configure them them using Putty on the server. I am using an USB / Serial interface with a FTDI FT232BL chipset. When I plug the cable into the Thin Client, it detects the cable as a FTDI device and assigns it COM4. I was able to forward this device to the RDS server and the server sees it as an USB/Serial device on COM4. I did install the drivers for the USB/Serial device on the server. When I open Putty and connect to COM4 it looks like I’m not talking to the Cisco switch. Is this something that should work ?
I did see on this forum that Wyse has a special USB/Serial cable, is this something that I have to buy ? If so, where do I buy one ? I called Dell Tech Support and they didn’t know anything about this cable and I can’t find it on their web site.
Dell IS offering such a cable.
Contact a Dell sales guy. He should find it.
Dell partnumber is A6927550CG
I found this cable on Dell’s web site, but it doesn’t mention anything about Wyse Thin Clients or ThinOS. The System Requirements are for Microsoft Windows 98SE/2000/ME/XP. Have you tried out this cable with ThinOS ?
