Serial port is slow
I've a cash drawer attached to my system via RJ11 cable in /dev/ttyS4. I'm trying to send an echo command to trigger the cash drawer using:
echo -e "x07" > /dev/ttyS4
I observed that the terminal hangs for around ~ 10-15 seconds and eventually the echo command comes out.
I remember seeing this command worked earlier on the same system.
The following is the serial port settings from dmesg:
[ 1.424083] 00:03: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
[ 1.445149] 00:04: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A

[ 1.529427] 00:08: ttyS5 at I/O 0x2e0 (irq = 10, base_baud = 115200) is a 16550A
$ sudo stty -F /dev/ttyS4 -a
speed 9600 baud; rows 0; columns 0; line = 0;

Has any one faced similar issue ?
Since it worked earlier, could it be due to any changes in the serial port configuration ?
As another test, I wrote a simple serial port C program to send a command to /dev/ttyS4, but even in that case, I found that similar hang happens even in this case.
Could someone please help me to understand what could be the issue behind this ?

When I ran strace on the c program, it was getting delayed on close(). So, when I commented close(), the delay was noticed on exit_group(0) of strace during program exit.

Does it actually take long for the drawer to open or does it open directly? If it opens quickly it might be a problem with the cashdrawer controller not detecting the drawer opened.

Does it actually take long for the drawer to open or does it open directly? If it opens quickly it might be a problem with the cashdrawer controller not detecting the drawer opened.
