Application Examples
The WiBox 2100E has two serial ports and an 802.11b/g transceiver. Eac h serial port is
connected to the serial communication port of a device. The wireless transceiver c onnects to
another wireless device or to an Access Point (AP). The WiBox 2100E also provides an Ethernet
connection.
This section includes typical scenarios for using the WiBox 2100E.
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 wir eless connection to the
AP LAN access the WiBox 2100E as though they are connected to it direc tly. The combination of
the WiBox 2100E, a PC, and the Lantronix Redirector software allows th e PC to communicate
directly to the WiBox 2100E’s serial devices, providing wireless seria l tunneling.
