Note:
In the case of ad a), if the connection between the station and the access point is interrupted, the station
will start transmitting pairing requests again periodically. This is because the connection may have been lost
due to a change in the station's IP address if, for example, the station uses DHCP for IP assignment. The pairing
request is therefore also used to communicate the current valid IP address of the station to the access point.
Note:
In case of ad a), if there are more access points in one local network, ie more independent S-Connect
networks, the pairing request will be displayed in all access points. The user can try to pair the station with
multiple access points, but communication can only take place with only one access point at a time, depending
on where the first pairing took place. If a station has a specific access point assigned to it, it will refuse to
communicate with another access point. Pairings with other access points will be invalid. If a pairing request is
displayed at an access point where you do not want to pair the station, the request must be rejected, and the
access point will continue to ignore that station.
CANCEL STATION PAIRING
If the pairing needs to be canceled, this is done in the control interface of the access point and possibly the
station.
For an access point, the appropriate command (Clear entry button) removes the stations from the access point
station table. This will also delete the station from the access point, end the communication and delete all
mapped devices from the device mapping table.
The access point remains assigned in the station control interface. It can either be deleted in the same way or
left in case we want to re-pair this station with the same access point later.
DEVICE PAIRING
After pairing the station with the access point, in order to share the device, it is necessary to assign the source
(physical) devices of the remote unit to the destination (logic) device of the local unit. This assignment is called
mapping and can be done both in the user interface of the access point and at the station.
Source devices can be selected from the device map, which is transmitted by the respective remote unit. The
destination devices can be selected from the available logic devices of the local unit.
The mapping is performed in a device mapping table, where each row of the table maps one source device to
one destination device. The principle of mapping is best illustrated by the following figure:
