Sample Configurations

This chapter provides details of how radios should be configured and connected for specific applications, such as IP-to-serial and serial-to-serial configurations. Only the most relevant parameters are shown for the sake of simplicity. All other parameters are assumed to be set at their default values.

IP-to-Local Serial Application Example

You may use either UDP or TCP to establish communications with the TS Wireless radio. The choice depends on the type of device you are communicating with at the other end of the IP network. This example uses TCP to illustrate this function.

In TCP mode, the transceiver remains in a passive state, offering a socket for connection. When a request is received, data received by the AP serial port is sent out through the IP socket and vice versa, until the connection is closed or the link is interrupted. The TCP session has a 10-minute time-out. If inactive for that time, it ends the session. The transceiver offers the port for connection again after this time.

Establishing a Connection

From the PC, establish a TCP connection to the IP address of the Remote transceiver and to the IP port as configured earlier (typically 30011). A Telnet client application can be used to establish this connection. Data can now be sent between the PC and the endpoint device.

*Use crossover cable for computer; straiht-through cable for network
