Hello all,
we would like to connect a serial device to a Sun Ray at a remote
location (actually evaluating whether we need to install a fat PC
over there). The Sun Ray 150 has a serial port, but it is no longer
on theprice list and not our device for other reasons. The 1g and 170
have 4 USB-ports.
The 150 does not have a serial port. The 170 does have two serial ports
built in, though, and they are supported with SRSS 3.1
I am confused. I triple-checked
http://www.sun.com/sunray/sunray170/specs.xml and found nothing about
serial ports. I googled some more and finally found a PDF that mentions
the serial ports. I then went on to order such a device, and in our
suppliers description it says 6 USB-ports and again no mentioning of
serial ports. Weird! Are their different models for different
countries? I would buy on in germany.
On our Mac we use a KeySpan-Adaptor to connect a serial device (e.g.
a SunFire) to the Mac (USB-Port).
What would our options be to connect a serial device to a Sun Ray
(hardware, drivers,...)? Any ideas?
Aside from the 170 built-in ports, you can use a few different types
of USB-to-Serial adapters, listed at:

Thanks!
Regards,
Andreas
