Putting a WMR200 on the network
Posted: Sat 23 Feb 2013 4:53 am
I've been experimenting with putting a WMR200 (a USB device) on the network. The idea is to separate the station from the server running Cumulus.
I looked at various USB to Network devices. The one I settled on was this:
http://www.welland.com.tw/html/usbip/204.html
This is a more generic device than Belkins, etc, as it was not restricted to just printers and/or storage devices. These devices either did not see the station at all, or threw an error message. The Welland device saw the station, and appeared to recognise it as the correct type of USB device. The station appeared in the server's device list as expected.
Cumulus would start, see the station, recognise it correctly, but would not read any values. Attached is the log file. I believe the issue may be the CRC error at the end of this section:

Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: Forgot to mention. Everything is fine if the station is directly connected to the PC running Cumulus.
