serial port problem...


hi
i have a redhat 8.0 linux box and i want to use a finger print scanner which has an rs232 interface and a set of serial commands.

i need to send 20 bytes to the scanner and it will respond with 24 bytes- this an example.like this i can execute the complete set of command set for operation.

the scanner works fine under dos for all commands thru the rs232 port-com1.but i need the same stuff to be done using linux.

i have got the linux serial programming - howto. it says that there are 4 input processing mode. i tried with non-canonical input processing. the command bytes sent are not acknowledged and i feel that i'm not doing the communication in a proper manner.


my need is to send set of hex bytes to the device,which will respond immediately and collect the respose bytes and process them.

can anyone help me.

i'm stuck with withis for 2 days and just now found from my friend that LQ forum is the right place for a newbie like me.

thanks in advance
john
