21�1 SLIP mode
In this mode the Com-Servers functions as a router. All net-
work packets whose destination address is within the confi-
gured subnet are routed over the serial interface using SLIP.
All arriving serial SLIP packets are passed along to the local
Ethernet network.
Application examples for the Com-Server as SLIP-Router
• A Com-Server in SLIP mode can be used as a network in-
terface for devices with their own serial port based TCP/IP
stack.
• Connection of two IP/Ethernet networks via serial cable
with a maximum distance of 1000m. For this the Com-
Servers configured as SLIP routers are used in pairs.
