1. What is Ecable Mode?

Ecable Mode is a feature that allows serial devices with no network interface to communicate with each other using two SD-300/SD-310AN's.

Connect one SD-300/SD-310AN to the transmitter end and one to the receiver end, and register the IP address of the receiver end as a destination address of the transmitter end. When they are powered on, both SD-300/SD-310AN's will start communicating with each other, establishing bidirectional communication between the serial devices.
