Figure 2 shows a sample application that uses the AirborneDirect™ Serial Bridge and the
VCOM driver from Quatech. In this application, a customer device (or “serial client”) is an
instrument or data logger that is connected directly to the Bridge and exchanges data wirelessly
with an Access Point. The Access Point is connected to the company LAN. Also connected to
the company LAN is a remote PC (or “LAN host”). The LAN host is running a customer
application that collects data from the serial client and stores it in a database. The VCOM driver
installed on the LAN host allows the collected data to pass to the customer’s application, without
requiring modifications to the PC hardware or software.
