Point-to-Multipoint Serial-to-Serial Application Example
The operation and data flow for this mode is very similar to
Point-to-Point serial-to-serial application, except that it uses multicast
addressing. The primary difference is that data presented at the Access
Points
COM port is packetized and sent using UDP to all of the
Remotes. Upon receiving the packet, all of the Remotes strip the data
from the UDP packet and send it out their
COM ports. Likewise, data
presented at any of the Remotes
COM ports is packetized, sent to the
Access Point, stripped, and sent out the Access Points
COM port (see
Figure 3-40, Table 3-6, Figure 3-41, and Figure 3-42 on Page 78).
