Toolkit

SALIENT FEATURES
u

XPO-LAN offers comprehensive experiment set up explaining

various physical topologies of LAN viz; Token Ring, Token Bus,
Ethernet (CSMA/CD), Modbus etc. & variety of TCP, IP, HTTP, SMTP
etc. Protocol demonstrator through error generation facility

sans socket programming.

u Set of Users Guide provided with each unit.

u Table top setup made using light but sturdy Aluminum profile (4X2)
Rack complete with cables, connectors, RS232 to RS485 converter
etc.
u One PC with serial required for monitoring or as user but not in scope
of supply.
