| This example application
demonstrates how simple it is to connect an LCD module with Serial
driver (such as the DS-LCDD1) to an Ethernet LAN and send data to
it from anywhere on the network! |
| This is achieved by using the
Charon I module, which allows serial devices to be connected to it.
In turn the Charon connects to the Ethernet network and can then receive
data to be printed to the LCD. |
| In this application, a Virtual
Serial Port (VSP) is set up on the PC, which opens a link to the Charon
module, wherever it is on the network. You can then use a simple terminal
program like Hyper Terminal, set up to the same comm. port as the
VSP. |
| Carry out the instructions in
the Virtual
Serial Port using Charon I Development Kit documentation, to the
point where we are ready to connect the LCD to the Charon. |
