Chapter 4: XPress DR+W

In the example above, the XPress DR+W communicates with another device server via the AP. The UDS device server, in this example, is connected via an Ethernet connection to the AP. In this way, the XPress DR+W and the device server communicate directly and can transfer information between their serial devices.

Ad Hoc XPress DR+W Connection

Figure 4-4. Direct XPress DR+W - to- XPress DR+W Connection

In the example above, two XPress DR+W s have established an Ad Hoc peer-to-peer relationship. They communicate directly to each other’s serial devices without a PC or an AP.
