Device personalities,
Configuration and set-up
The Airborne™ EVB can support all device personalities
available within the B+B SmartWorx product line. A device
personality is a specific configuration of the Airborne™
device which performs a certain function. Examples
include Ethernet Router, Serial Device Server, SPI Device
Server, etc. The EVB is shipped with the default personality
set as an Industrial Serial Devices Server.
Changing the personality to match your application is
the first thing you should do when working with the EVB.
It is important to select the appropriate personality. The
following table outlines the personalities and their specific
functionality:
