SMC TCP/IP Description  

The SMC TCP/IP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from other FieldServers 
over Ethernet using SMC TCP/IP protocol.  The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or 
Client.  

The SMC TCP/IP driver can be used for inter-bridge (FieldServer to FieldServer) 
communications to perform tasks like mirroring data arrays between FieldServers. 

 

Max Nodes Supported 
 

FieldServer Mode 

Nodes 

Comments 

Client N/A 

Inter-bridge Communications to a virtually unlimited number 
of FieldServers.  Memory limitations may apply when a 
large number of Nodes are used.

 

Server N/A 

Inter-bridge Communications to a virtually unlimited number 
of FieldServers.  Memory limitations may apply when a 
large number of Nodes are used.
