Peer Master Example
The Example
This chapter provides an example of a peer-to-peer network and is designed for the
experienced user. This chapter does not provide detailed descriptions of network
concepts and communications parameters. If you’re unfamiliar with networking
concepts, or if you want to know more detailed information about DirectNET, you
may want to read Chapters 2 – 5 before setting up the example network.
A DCM peer network utilizes two DCMs, with both configured as peer stations. You
can only have two stations in this configuration. Either unit can initiate a
communications request. (The DCMs automatically compensate for the possibility
of data collisions.)
This chapter provides an example that allows you to quickly and easily set up a peer
network.
