IP/Ethernet Polling and Terminal Server Operation

Modern data/control networks often employ IP/Ethernet connectivity
throughout the system. The SD transceiver is well suited to provide con-
nectivity between such sites using its RJ-45 modular connector on the
front panel and enabling Ethernet Bridging capabilities. Figure 7 shows
an overview of such a system.
Note that the Remote radio on the right side of the illustration uses a
serial connection. The SD radio's Terminal Server feature allows direct
IP/addressing of serial ports on selected radios. See "Terminal Server
COM1/2 Configuration" on Page 58 for more details.
