Introduction

Telecommunications equipment

Data display devices

Virtually any RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 asynchronous serial device

Application Examples

The WiBox has two serial ports and an 802.11b/g transceiver. Each serial port is connected to the serial communication port of a device. The wireless transceiver connects to another wireless device or to an Access Point (AP). The WBX2100E also provides an Ethernet connection.

This section includes typical scenarios for using the WiBox.

Serial Tunneling – Network

Figure 2-1. Serial Tunneling Infrastructure Network Example

A PC connected to an AP via an Ethernet connection and a PC with a wireless connection to the AP LAN access the WiBox as though they are directly connected to it. The combination of the WiBox, a PC, and Lantronix’s Redirector software allows the PC to communicate directly to the WiBox’s serial devices, providing wireless serial tunneling.
