Client/Server Mode
In this mode, two EtherPaths are used. Both are connected to serial
RS-232 devices. This is termed a “Nailed-Up” connection.
•
The "Client" EtherPath will automatically establish a
connection to the "Server" EtherPath upon power-up.
•
The device on one EtherPath communicates with the other
serial port device as if it was directly connected via a serial port
cable.
