Device Personality
The Airborne™ EVB can support all device personalities available within the Quatech product line. A device personality is a specific
configuration of the Airborne™ device which performs a certain function. Examples include Ethernet Router, Serial Device Server, SPI Device
Server, etc. The EVB is shipped with the default personality set as an Industrial Serial server.
Changing the personality to match your application is the first thing you should do when working with the EVB. It is important to select the
appropriate personality. The following table outlines the personalities and their specific functionality:
