Hello.
I have a number of entities each equipped with a Digi X24-019PKC. Which is an RF serial modem.
These are able to mesh, effectively building a wireless bus in which every message sent by any modem is received by all the others linked on the same channel.
The protocol under all of this is proprietary and unaccessible, but this is not the point.
What I would like to do is bind these modem to an Ethernet address.
Since functionality provided is practically the same of a network card, is there any protocol that does this?
It's a kind of IP over Serial, but not PPP because it's multipoint.
Doing this would allow me to use network libraries to set up sockets, client/server mechanism and all the likes, makeing it much more easy to mesh multiple entities together sans wires.
Using Wifi is out of the question as it does not possess the necessary range.
Also changing to another modem which does provide long range and ethernet is a possibility too distance because of funding problems.
So does anyone have any idea if and how this is possibile?
Thanks.
