Mixed-Mode Application Example

In this configuration, the Host PC can use both TCP and serial-to-serial data paths to reach the endpoint devices. This may be helpful when a mixed collection of endpoint devices is present, where some endpoint devices operate via Ethernet while others are polled via a serial port..

Operation and Data Flow

Communicate with endpoint devices A and B by sending and receiving data from the AP COM2 port.

Communicate with endpoint devices C and D by Telneting to the IP address of each endpoint device.
