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.
