I have an application using MSComm in VB6. This application is used to connect to a remote unit to download data from its datalogger. Once connected, I send a command to it to trigger the sending of the data. OK? With me so far? thought so….
Well… using a “normal” modem, I get ComEents 1 and 2 occuring quite normally. However, when using my Nokia 6310i modem, it triggers other events… this is causing a problem.
The Remote unit requires 2400,7,e,1 (re-arrange if necessary!) and Handshake = 2 port settings
Using the Nokia modem I get a CommEvent 4 as soon as the Remote Unit Answers then CommEvent 3 when the connection is made “CONNECT 2400”
Then when I send my command – nothing happens…
Why?
How can I correct this please – its driving me bats!!!
