Appendix B - Ethernet
The Ethernet interface is an alternative to the serial interface. It provides access to the same
Monitor and Control (M&C) parameters that are available via the serial M&C interface. Detailed
descriptions of the fields and Wavestream Graphical User Interface (GUI) are located in other
sections in this manual.
TCP-based Monitor & Control
The TCP-Based protocol is a simple encapsulation of the serial protocol into TCP packets which
allows the Wavestream GUI to talk to the unit via Ethernet. Instead of using a COM port and
running over a serial link, the GUI encapsulates commands into TCP packets on port 10001 and
receives response TCP packets from the unit. The operation of the GUI remains the same as when
used over a serial link.
