There are two common applications for the Serial Client:
n Replacing a serial cable with a wireless link. The cable between a
serial device and its host can be eliminated.

Ethernet Client
The Universal Client and the Multi-Client can connect nodes to an
Ethernet infrastructure.
Universal Client
The Ethernet Client connects to a standard Ethernet port using a
10BaseT/RJ-45 (twisted pair) connector. The Ethernet Client supports
ad hoc networking or Ethernet connectivity to a wired LAN using
Access Points. The Ethernet Client can be used in a variety of infra-
structure system configurations. The figure below shows Ethernet Uni-
versal Clients connected to a file server over a wired LAN through the
Access Point.

connector. The Multi-Client can connect up to four end nodes through a
