Hi Marcel,
I two simple Questions :
1.) How many RFCOMM-Connections can be made to a single usb-Stick on Linux
2.) Is there a timeout which closes the connection, if there ist no traffic for a certain time.

We plan to connect 10 devices via serial connections to a single server to transmit periodically data.

Thanks in advance,

Kasimir

Hi Kasimir,

1.) How many RFCOMM-Connections can be made to a single usb-Stick on Linux

you can have up to 30 connections per direction per ACL link.

2.) Is there a timeout which closes the connection, if there ist no traffic for a certain time.

No.

This is different from the number of RFCOMM connections, because you can only connect up to 7 seven active slaves at the same time. But with each slave you can have 30 RFCOMM connection in each direction.

Regards

Marcel

Hi Kasimir,

The problem is, I must have at least 10 distinct connections from 10 devices, which must be
identified by e.g. Hardware-Adress .
So I must use 2 sticks on the server side ?

if you need 10 connections at the same time, then yes, you should better use two adapters. Remember that you can have 10 connections at the same time, but 3 of them must be parked.

Thanks again very much for your quick and competent answer.

You are welcome.

Regards

Marcel

Sorry , I was precise.
I going to read the status of the 10 devices sequentially . So I can switch the connection ?

you can park 9 of your connections and only unpark the one that you need. I must admit that I never tested such a setup.

Regards

Marcel
