5.1 INTRODUCTION
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.
5.1.1 IP-to-Local Serial Application Example
You may use either UDP or TCP to establish communications with the
entraNET. The choice will depend on the type of device you are com-
municating with at the other end of the IP network. In this example we
will use 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’s
serial port will be sent out through the IP socket and vice versa, until the
connection is closed, or the link is interrupted. The TCP session has a
timeout of 10 minutes. If inactive for that time, it will be closed. The
transceiver will offer again the port for connection after this time.
(See Figure 5-1 and Table 5-1)
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 connec-
tion. Data can now be sent between the PC and the RTU or other con-
nected device.
