covered in the following sections.
This device allows the connection of a serial port to an 802.11 network.
4.2 Ethernet
The Ethernet adapter provides a wireless interface to an existing Ethernet port
(RJ-45). Depending upon the model of device the connection to the Ethernet port
of the host is made via a RJ-45 socket or pigtail with a RJ-45 plug.
The device supports a 10/100 Ethernet interface with auto configuration. Manual
control of the interface is possible through the web or CLI interface.
4.3 Serial + Ethernet
This device allows for simultaneous connection of Serial and Ethernet ports.
Providing the same functionality on each port that is available on the individual
devices, it is possible to maintain network based connections to both the
Ethernet and Serial ports without compromise of functionality or performance.
Each interface can be configured and operated independently of the others.
Connection to the serial port can be made via both the wireless and Ethernet
ports supporting redundant network connectivity for high reliability applications.
