Overview The transceiver includes an embedded serial device server that provides
transparent encapsulation of serial data in IP packets. In this capacity, it
acts as a gateway between serial and network-based devices. Two
common scenarios are PC applications using IP to communicate with
remote devices, and serial PC applications communicating with remote
serial device over an IP network.
Note that the transceiver's serial port is configured as Data
Communications Equipment (DCE). A null-modem cable is required if
the serial device to be connected is also DCE.
