putty unable to open serial port windows 7

The port number is COM4 in below example. Enter the port number inside 'Serial line to connect to' text box. Refer the following link if a Serial Port is not available in your computer.ġ) After downloading PuTTY, connect the console cable with Cisco Router or Swtich, double click putty.exe to execute it. Refer the following link to know more about console port and console cable. Connect the other end to the Serial port of your computer. Connect the RJ45 jack of your console cable to the console port of your Cisco Router or Switch. Make sure that you have correct console connection to Cisco Router or Switch. Serial line: Whichever port was determined previously, likely COM1 or COM3 on Windows, or /dev/ttyUSB0 on Linux. was in my boot/cmdline.To connect to a serial port, start PuTTY and then set the following parameters: Connection Type: Serial. I am just leery about not being able to connect to TTYACM0 usb/serial port to see the same incoming data? I think I'm just dealing with the final step which is the Flash Security stuff? (Adobe Flash Security Policy Server stuff.which I tackled before). and it IS working (because there IS data being sent/found at 127.0.0.1:7777 (which is where the localhost/flash app reside.and my FLASH XML Socket connection checks for incoming data. and taking the serial comm connection and thats what is blocking PUTTY from connection perhaps? (makes me think SOCAT 'is' working? But I'm confused as to why the PUTTY connection wont connect to the SERIAL PORT? that at the 127.0.0.1 RAW connection is 'working'.and I'm seeing the data from the Arduino come in. How can I find out what is going on with my serial port? and figure out why PUTTY will NOT connected to it?

so I'm not sure if missed a step? Or where to go from here to trouble shoot things? since I'm using Putty to connect and check on things?

I'm going to assume SOCAT install/configuration is not the issue (at least yet). Since this is more or less bypassing SOCAT. I keep getting an error from Putty saying: UNABLE TO OPEN SERIAL PORT and actually SHOWS the '.' coming on the console. I set up two entries in my Putty install to check the data is coming in at a base level first: In installed Putty on my RPi (disclaimer, I'm very much a noob, and there may have been a better way, but I have to work with what I know and feel comfortable with). I know this all works, because I have done it successfully before, hence trying to rebuild and get back to that state of the project) ** (in the end, I have a Flash App with XML Socket connection to PORT: 7777, and installed SOCAT to also listen on port: 7777 and pass the data on from incoming TTYAMC0. I have my Arduino set up to just loop through sending 'data.' over and over to ensure I pick up anything being sent.
