Scenario 3: Connecting a serial device to a wireless network

This scenario explains how to connect a serial device to a wireless network, enabling serial traffic to be sent to a remote host via TCP/IP.

Overview

In this scenario, the M111 enables a point-of-sale terminal to exchange traffic with a remote host. In addition to providing the connection to a wireless network, the M111 also converts traffic between serial and TCP/IP.

					MSM AP	Private network with

						DHCP server on

	Serial				5.11

	Serial
Point-of-sale	Serial			M111	TCP	Host computer
terminal	Serial			TCP server	TCP	TCP client

This scenario assumes that:

The M111 is in its factory-default state.

A DHCP server is operating on the private network, assigning addresses on the subnet 192.168.5.0

The MSM AP is operating in autonomous mode in its factory default configuration. (As such, it obtains an IP address of 5.25 from the DHCP server and creates a wireless network call HP ProCurve.) Install the MSM AP as described in its Quickstart.

The remote host is operating as a TCP client.
