Serial Addressability

This example shows that it is possible to communicate to specific serial
devices (

e.g.,

PC 2 COM1, and PC 3 COM1) over the radio network.

Note that TCP is used as the transport layer for communication here,
which provides data reliability at the application level.

1. Configure Remote 1 and Remote 2 by navigating to the

Term Srvr 2

COM2 Configuration

screen and setting the parameters as listed below.

(Note that an Ethernet connection to Remote 1 and Remote 2—not
shown in Figure 28— will be required for this step, unless Telnet is
used.)

Status: Enabled

Mode: TCP Server Socket

Local Radio Port: 30000

Connection Timeout: 0 Seconds

Persistent Connection: Yes

2. Navigate to the

COM2 Port Settings

of Remote 1 and Remote 2 and

configure them as listed below (note that VRCs are not used):

Mode: RS232

Baud Rate: 115200 bps

Format: 8 char bits, no parity, 1 stop bit

Buffer: Data Handling ON

Device: DCE

Talk on: VRC-1

Listen to: VRC-1

3. Click

Commit Configuration

after the changes are made.

To test the functionality of the Terminal Server, open a HyperTerminal
session on PC1 and connect to the Remote Terminal Server as shown in
Figure 29.

Figure 29. Remote 1 Terminal Server Connection

On PC2, Open a HyperTerminal session and connect to Remote 1’s
COM2 port as shown in Figure 30.
