Hello,
I'm trying to connect from a serial port (Avocent ACS6016 serial console server) to the serial UART of my TP-LINK Archer C7 v2.0 via a MAX3232 adapter.
TX from the router works. I can see the boot messages. RX doesn't. It doesn't receive my input.
The cabling looks like this:
ACS6016 RJ45 <> DB9 MAX3232 UART <> Archer C7 UART
I tried it with two C7 routers, with different cables and with different MAX3232 adapters. The result is always the same.
I also got an old TP-LINK TL-WR1043ND (v1.5) and a Raspery Pi 2 connected to the console server via MAX3232 adapters. They both work fine.
Any idea why the serial connection with the C7 won't work with a MAX3232 adapter? Using an USB UART cable works.
Regards,
Bernd
