2.5.5 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 port will be packetized and sent via UDP to all of the
COM
Remotes. Upon receiving the packet all of the Remotes strip the data out
of the UDP packet and send it out their
sented at any of the Remotes'
Access Point, stripped, and sent out the Access Point's
