Connect W EA with ser2net
If you want to use the Weishaupt configuration software for Windows WCMDiagnose you have to use the original eBus-To-Serial adaptor from Weishaupt called W-EA.
Normally you have to connect the W-EA adaptor directly to you Windows PC to watch the ebus-messages or get and set some parameters.
I have managed to connect the W-EA with a Serial-to-USB adaptor to a Raspberry 3 and offer access to the com-port by running the ser2net server.
On the Raspberry you have to install ser2net und edit /etc/ser2net.conf like this
Access to /dev/ttyUSB0 on TCP-Port 2001
2001:telnet:600:/dev/ttyUSB0:9600 8DATABITS EVEN 2STOPBIT
On the client side - the Windows PC running WCMDiagnose - you need a virtual serial port (VSP) connected to the ser2net server.
I tried all the virtual serial port drivers available out there in the internet...
...but I managed to get a stable connection only with this one: HW Virtual Serial Port
On this site you can download two versions of the driver: the singleport and the multiport.
I don't know why but I only managed to get a stable connection with the singleport driver!
And I don't want the driver to start as a Windows-service so I installed it as "standalone".
My Settings for the HW Virtual Serial Port are like this
