Hello all,
Thanks in advance for any answers posted.
Scenario
I have a customer who have just split their 'logical' infrastructure in two (Hotel and Timeshare). There is one building physical building with a common telephone infrastructure.
I therefore have to split data from the existing telephone PBX (GDK 186) to two PC's so that the two 'departments' are able to log the PBX's data independantly. (Software on both machines are able to filter out the various apartment numbers etc from the PBX's data stream).
I have purchased a unit from 'BlackBox' which is advertsed as a '4 port RS232 databuffer box' and is supposedly able to output data at different rates on all/any of it's ports - it doesn't -it mirrors the data to two ports not store or buffer
Question
Does anyone know of a unit which is able to take RS232 data and ouput it on two ports (ideally at different baud rates) or store the data in a FIFO format and then output the data when either/or the port(s) are ready for it. i.e. if a PC on port 1 is turned off store the data untill its turned on again whilst the PC on port 2 still receives data upto the limit of memory.
Alternatively, I would imagine a modern microcontroller with multiple(3) RS232 ports could suffice with some clever programming
The baud is 9600 and no more than 20 (ish) characters in length at any one (time of call, length of call apartment number) there are 80 rooms/apartment in total
