3.3.3.3 PPP
Data
Mode
The HW 86012/22 module may be configured to operate a PPP server. The host
application‘s PPP client may initiate a PPP connection to the module, having the opportunity
to use it’s own IP address or to trigger the module to receive an IP address from the network
using DHCP. DNS and WINS server addresses, net mask and standard gateway may as
well be configured automatically.
PPP mode may be used in systems implementing TCP/IP stack and PPP protocol. It allows
to connect to the LAN directly through the WLAN infrastructure similar to a modem dial-up
connection.

3.3.4 Transparent Data Mode
The transparent data mode is a sub-mode of the data mode. It allows transparent data
transmission using the RS-232 interface. The transparent data mode is selected by issuing
the configuration command SPPR OFF.
Both, PT and FT may operate in transparent data mode. Moreover PT and FT may be
operated in different data modes, e.g. a PT in transparent data mode may connect to a FT in
protocol data mode.
In the transparent data mode, all data is treated as a stream. No specific framing is required.
Call control is provided by the modem lead lines.
This mode is restricted to a single connection (point-to-point). This means that even a FT
only supports a single connection when operated in transparent data mode.
