Introduction ida ReRouter

1. Introduction

This chapter provides a brief introductory description of the

ida ReRouter. Chapter 4 describes the installation and setup in details.

1.1What is the ida ReRouter?

The ida ReRouter is a transaction program which is able to take Host print using the LU 6.2 protocol and pass it to a bi-directional TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) protocol on any one of the supported products stated in section 2.2. “Product Features”.

The configuration in the following illustrates the routing of Host data using the ida ReRouter. See the explanation to the configuration below the figure.
