5. Functional description
The ED-10 can be in either configuration (config) mode or in application (app) mode.
Normally the ED-10 is in app mode, where the serial-to-network conversion is enabled
and all configuration settings are readable.
Change of configuration parameters are done in ED-10 config mode. Configurable
parameters are listed in chapter 6.4.
Application mode
In application mode the ED-10 transfers data between the serial interface (CH1) and the
network interface (10BaseT).
At the network interface data are received as datagrams (network packets). Each received
network packet is immediately transmitted at the serial interface CH1.
Data received from the serial interface CH1 is buffered into a data frame according to the
packing algorithm. Each frame is then transmitted as a datagram at the network interface.
