9.0 Special Radionics D6600 NetCom Applications
The following are special applications that have been requested by Radionics dealers. They are included here to
assist you should you have the same requirements. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Tech
Support at (888) 723-9376, or you can request to speak with a NetCom Engineer.
9.1 Emulating a Direct Serial Connection Over a LAN Using D6680 Network
Adapters
In some applications it may be required that a direct serial connection be emulated over the network. One
application that would require this is where the D6600 Receiver is located on another part of the network from
the Automation System. We can take the COM3 automation output from the D6600 and using 2 D6680’s we can
pipe a direct serial connection between the D6600 and the Automation System. This is true serial cable
emulation over the network (see Figure 42: Direct Serial LAN Connection Configuration).

Figure 42: Direct Serial LAN Connection Configuration
The commands necessary for this configuration to automatically establish this connection are as follows. Note
the reference to the D6680’s by their number (#1 or #2). You will also need to insure that the port parameters
such as speed, number of bits, flow control etc. are correct on the D6680 for the serial device that they are
connected to.
