Connections between Offices
Office-to-office connections can be achieved with either dial-up asynchronous connections or dial-up synchronous connections, depending on your application.
Once a INA module is installed in each office and connected to the local Ethernet with an AUI, 10Base2, or 10BaseT connector, one or more asynchronous serial ports can be configured to dial another office or a set of offices when network traffic for the specified location exists. One common configuration is a star where multiple branch offices dial into a central hub that routes among them. Another configuration is a mesh where every office can speak to any other office on demand. Intermediate configurations between star and mesh are also possible.
For examples, see the information on office-to-office connections in the PortMaster Configuration Guide.
