SATELLAR
Serial IP as an Ethernet to serial converter
It is possible to use Serial IP as an Ethernet/Serial converter with the Radio Unit in either Basic or Source
Routing mode. In this conguration, all data received by the TCP/UDP server congured with Serial IP will be
sent over the radio, and all data received from the radio will be sent as TCP/UDP packets.
Example
This example has the following setup:
Figure Z: Ethernet to Serial converter example
DTA A: IP Address 192.168.1.1
SATELLAR A: IP Address 192.168.1.2
DTE A is connected to SATELLAR A over the internet, and SATELLAR B is connected to DTE B with a serial
cable via the RS-232 connector. The following assumptions are made before starting:
The radio units SATELLAR A and B are congured to the basic mode
Other settings have been set as listed in section 7.4.4 ( SATELLAR Digital System Part III: radio Unit)
Next, the Serial IP must be congured in SATELLAR A. SATELLAR B needs no serial IP settings, since the
conversion only happens at SATELLAR A. The parameters look like this:
Now, if DTE A forms a TCP connection to 192.168.1.2:2005 and writes some data, it will be transmitted as
serial over the air and written out of the serial port of SATELLAR B to DTE B. If DTE B replies with some serial
data, it will eventually be sent to DTA A from SATELLAR A via the open TCP connection. If the connection is
closed, SATELLAR A will form a TCP connection to 192.168.1.1:2006 and send the data there.
