Proxima ASA 7910, 7911 manual

Figure 6 above shows a simple configuration of this topology. Desktop 1 is on the same network as a RangeLAN2 Access Point. Serial Adapters 1 and 2 are configured as Stations and are synchronized to the Access Point, which is configured as a Master. Desktop 1 is running a custom-made application written in a programming interface, such as Windows Sockets, which uses TCP/IP to communicate with either or both Serial Adapters.

For more information about how to write a custom TCP/IP sockets program which will interface with the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter, see Appendix B, the Serial Adapter TCP/IP Specification.

The topologies discussed above display only a small number of the simplest configurations available with the RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter. You may also design more complicated custom topologies that meet your own communication requirements and that build upon the principles presented within these simpler configuations.

Note:

When using the Serial Adapters in conjunction with an Ethernet backbone, note that you can not send a broad- cast message through a router.
