FarSync Drivers

Linux Documentation Index

Your FarSync device is supplied with drivers that provide either the networking devices necessary to provide Wide Area Network access for IP communications (WAN driver) or allows programmatic access to data streams to and from the ports communications line (OEM driver).

The WAN driver allows Point to Point communications between remote hosts.  This provides the ability to carry TCP/IP over a number of other lower level protocols, such as PPP, Cisco HDLC, Frame Relay etc.

The OEM driver allows a user written application to open a port and to receive and transmit data from/to the port.  The separately purchased FarSync SDK product provides the tools, documentation and sample programs required to develop such an application.

For information on installing the hardware for your system please refer to one of the Quick Start Guides below:
