Installing the Hardware

A MeshScape API-based application functions as a serial proxy client by changing its lowest

level serial interface to a TCP/IP interface. The MeshScape API TCP/IP serial proxy client interface

opens a connection to the MeshScape Serial Proxy Server by connecting to its well advertised

port.

Local and remote MeshScape API-based applications including MeshScape Network Monitor

access the MeshScape data on the MeshGate Extra Long Range by connecting to the

MeshScape Serial Proxy Server at IP address 10.0.0.90 on port 45090.

Although Figure 2-11 does not show any MeshScape API-based applications running on the PC,

any number of MeshScape API-based applications could be running on the same PC host as the

MeshScape Serial Proxy Server. The MeshScape Serial Proxy Server supports up to ten client

connections.
