USB/ekey bug? - morkovka - 27.08.2021
Hi,
I'm using eKey FSX app connected to an ekey using a USB-RS485 adapter, which uses /dev/ttypUSB0 as it's the only 'usb device' connected to Wiser. Most of the time everything works fine, but sometimes I noticed my ekey gets disconnected - and when I check the logs I see a storm of:

If I re-plug the USB adapter to wiser, it detects the adapter and assigns it to /dev/ttyUSB1:

eKey still won't work in this case because it's expecting the fingerprint reader to be on /dev/ttyUSB0.
The only 'solution' is to reboot Wiser which then comes back up with everything working - USB adapter assigned to /dev/ttyUSB0 and consequently ekey detecting the fingerprint reader - everything is okay until the next time the above kernel messages appear.
I have tried 2 different USB-RS485 adapters and the problem occurs in both.
Is this a bug in the kernel / USB driver? how do I get this resolved?
RE: USB/ekey bug? - admin - 27.08.2021
This is a hardware not a software issue. What is the USB cable length or does this adapter plug directly into the USB port? There are many counterfeit FTDI adapters which might be unreliable.
RE: USB/ekey bug? - morkovka - 27.08.2021
Okay, thank you for the response. The length is very small and it does plug directly into USB, but I cannot be 100% sure the adapter is not to blame.
RE: USB/ekey bug? - agris - 30.08.2021
Try to change diferent USB adapter location in the tab "Scanners" data block 'Configuration' by entering:
http://__your_lm_ip_address_/apps/data/ekey/admin.lp
Than start the ekey App daemon again.
