1. Either COM port can be used, but they must be the same ones at both ends
of the link. Both COM ports can be used simultaneously for two independent
data channels.
2. Seamless Inter-frame Delay.
3. Flow Control applies to the COM2 Port only.

2.6.11 Combined Serial and IP Application Example

Note that in this example, the TCP mode does not involve the Access Point. Thus, the transceiver in a single
network can run in both modes at the same time. In other words, some Remotes can be configured for TCP
mode while others can be configured (along with the Access Point) for UDP mode.
In this configuration, the Host PC can use both data paths to reach the RTUs. This may be helpful when a
mixed collection of RTUs is present where some RTUs can operate in a broadcast form while others cannot
(see Figure 2-51 on Page 63 and Table 2-4 on Page 63).

Operation and Data Flow

• Communicate with RTU A by Telneting to Remote 1, port 30011.
• Communicate with RTU B by Telneting to Remote 2, port 30011.
• Communicate with RTUs C and D by sending and receiving data from the Access Point's
• All communication paths can be used simultaneously.
