MDS iNET 900 - Point-To-Point Serial-To-Serial Operation and Data Flow

2.5.4 Point-to-Point Serial-to-Serial Operation and
Data Flow
Once the iNET 900s are configured and the changes have been exe-
cuted, they begin processing any data presented at the
COM ports. Data
presented at the Access Point’s
COM port will be packetized and sent via
UDP to the Remote. Upon receiving the packet, the Remote strips the
data out of the UDP packet and sends it out its
COM port. Likewise, data
presented at the Remote’s
COM port is packetized, sent to the Access
Point, stripped, and sent out the Access Point’s
COM port.
