CN2610 User’s Manual Setting Up Multiplexor
13-3
Selecting the Application
The Multiplex application uses two Async Servers. One of the servers (called the “host” CN2610)
is attached to a host with a multi-port serial board and mutiple serial lines. The other server (called
the “device” CN2610) is connected to external serial devices. In this way, one host can use a
TCP/IP connection to control multiple serial devices from a remote location. We use ports 5, 6, 7,
and 8 on both CN2610’s to illustrate.
