In special applications (e.g. involving GPRS devices), the PC with the HW VSP driver can be set to operate in TCP Server mode, enabling the remote device to initialize the connection by sending any data to the remote port. Upon receiving RS-232 data, the converter establishes a connection with the PC and passes the data to the virtual COM port. Therefore, the scenario very closely resembles behavior of a real serial port.
Vital Source Converter Serial Nu
You can obtain an Ethernet to COM converter, also called a device server, that enables you to convert serial signals. The signals are sent over the network and your computer interacts with the devices through a virtual COM port.
The contents of this element specify arguments to be passed to the kernel (orinstaller) at boot time. This is often used to specify an alternate primaryconsole (eg serial port), or the installation media source / kickstart file
Paravirtualized virtio channel. Channel is exposed in the guest under/dev/vport*, and if the optional element name is specified,/dev/virtio-ports/$name (for more info, please see ). The optional elementaddress can tie the channel to a particular type='virtio-serial'controller, as documented in the Device Addresses section. With qemu, if nameis "org.qemu.guest_agent.0", then libvirt can interact with a guest agentinstalled in the guest, for actions such as guest shutdown or file systemquiescing. Since 0.7.7, guest agent interaction since 0.9.10Moreover, since 1.0.6 it is possible to have source path autogenerated for virtio unix channels. This is very useful in case of a qemuguest agent, where users don't usually care about the source path since it'slibvirt who talks to the guest agent. In case users want to utilize thisfeature, they should leave element out. Since 1.2.11the active XML for a virtio channel may contain an optional stateattribute that reflects whether a process in the guest is active on thechannel. This is an output-only attribute. Possible values for the stateattribute are connected and disconnected.
Paravirtualized qemu vdagent channel. This channel implements the SPICEvdagent protocol, but is handled internally by qemu and therefore does notrequire a SPICE graphics device. Like the spicevmc channel, the targetelement must be present, with attribute type='virtio'; an optionalattribute name controls how the guest will have access to the channel,and defaults to name='com.redhat.spice.0'. The optional addresselement can tie the channel to a particular type='virtio-serial'controller. Certain vdagent protocol features can by enabled or disabledusing the source element.
A NetSuite WMS gives you the ability to really understand how serialized product moves within your organization. Over the last year, the ability to track inventory with this level of detail has become vital due to supply chain shortages, as well as labor issues on the manufacturing side. Serial numbers help the world track the safety and lifecycle of all products we see and use.
The nominal method used within scsi_id command to obtain this information is to use the output from scsi INQUIRY command to fetch VPD (vital product data) information from either page 83 (device identification) or, if that is not available, page 80 (unit serial number). In the case of vmdk based virtual disks provided to the RHEL guest, these pages are not be available until the `disk.UUID` feature is enabled within the hypervisor. So the root cause when blank output is generated from `scsi_id` for virtual disks is the lack of appropriate VPD information being provided from the hypervisor. To correct this, enable the disk.UUID feature within the VMware hypervisor by following the [steps outlined above](#STEPS).
The scsi_id code does a standard INQUIRY (A) command. This is followed by an INQUIRY of page 00 (B) which returns all available pages supported by this device. The returned list of pages includes page 80, where the serial number is located as well as page 83 where the WWID is located. Then and INQUIRY of page 80 (C) is performed, and finally INQUIRY of page 83 (D). All those complete successfully, and the WWID retrieved from the device is displayed (E) and scsi_id exits with status of 0. The WWID itself is "60060160dfc02c00ce7fabaf69999999", the "3" take leads that string is added by scsi_id to identify the source and type of scsi identifier being output. See "How are SCSI ID generated?" for more information on prefix characters and how SCSI identifiers are created.
Server computers may use a serial port as a control console for diagnostics, while networking hardware (such as routers and switches) commonly use serial console ports for configuration, diagnostics, and emergency maintenance access. To interface with these and other devices, USB-to-serial converters can quickly and easily add a serial port to a modern PC.
Renewable power plant installations can now be found on the scale of hundreds of kilowatts(kW) to megawatts (MWs) of potential power generation. These generation plants are a composite of many small generation resources, all interconnected with an electrical network known as a collector system4,5,6. An example layout for a PV plant with a supplementary ES system is shown in Fig. 1a. At each resource within the power plant, power electronic converter (PEC) systems with intelligent controllers are used to perform conversion and control of the power produced by both the PV modules and ES technology. These systems support several operational modes and communications protocols via an integrated communications module. System coordination is performed through a plant supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system. Key to the deployment of these renewable plants is the ability for the SCADA system to communicate with the resources to establish operational capabilities and optimization strategies. Hence, secure and reliable two-way communications are critical to these systems7,8,9.
The coordination controller has been developed as a means to integrate many types of PECs and resources. The design utilizes a multi-agent architecture comprised of four agents: converter, source/load, interface, and intelligence. The Converter Agent interacts with the PEC then shares the status and data over a local messaging bus. The Source/load Agent interacts with the source/load then transmits data which includes control and status, with other agents. The Interface Agent interacts with the external agents to send and receive information, then relays the information to the local agents over the local message bus. Finally, the Intelligence Agent interacts with the interface agent to convert requested control signals into actionable signals for the separate resources. All communications between agents and message buses utilize the MQTT protocol. As an example, a start-up request is broken into manageable steps between the resource and the PEC to complete the task. These operations must be tightly synchronized and often autonomous to avoid errors and protect the energy infrastructure. This approach has been demonstrated in the development of energy storage systems and PV from residential14,15,16,17, to commercial-scale18 systems in both hardware and controller hardware-in-the-loop platforms. We note that other MQTT-based work for autonomous resource allocation systems was explored in12 and for automation systems in13.
Authentication of data and control messages is crucial for reliable, safe, and secure grid operations. Using an authentication protocol and secret keys known only to the sender and the receiver enable bi-directional message authentication. Moreover, an information-theoretic (meaning security is not based upon computing resource assumptions) authentication protocol based on private-key encryption comes without the latency penalty of public-key cryptosystems23,24. For example, using the Carter-Wegman68 authentication protocol requires fewer computational resources and thus provides a long-lasting and more resource-efficient authentication compared to the asymmetric public-key-based authentication protocols25. Thus, Demonstrating QKD technology in a real-world environment to verify the feasibility of quantum-based cybersecurity for power grid communications is a crucial way point towards wider adoption. A controlled laboratory setup dramatically reduces environmental impacts compared to field deployments. For example, environmental variables such as temperature and humidity, in addition to the electromagnetic emanations of specialized power equipment, can affect the quantum hardware, including optics, electronics, and electro-optics. Further, the fiber optic deployment mechanism in a real-world environment is another vital element to consider. The QKD key rate of an underground and aerial fiber will likely be affected in some QKD implementations and may require additional equipment/engineering compared to lab-based demonstrations.
Tip: If you do not know the PID of your powersensor(s), connect them to your computer, and perform the Find Resource on the R&S Visa Tester. Then you either use the desired resource string from the list, or in case you have more then one powersensor connected, you can pair the Product ID with the serial number printed on the powersensor label above its bar code. 2ff7e9595c
