5.5 Point-to-Multipoint, Serial-to-Serial
Application Example
The operation and data flow for this mode is very similar to a
point-to-point serial-to-serial application, except that it uses multicast
addressing. The primary difference is that data presented at the AP
port is packetized and sent to all of the Remotes. Upon receiving the
packet from all of the Remotes, the data is stripped out of the packet and
sent from the
COM
ports is packetized, sent to the AP, stripped, and sent from the AP
COM
port.
