2.3.2 Intranet applications
Figure below represents the client PC and server PC communication. However, to
exchange text messages (TCP packets) between server and MAMBOII device a
program developed by the user must be available and already installed on the remote
server. The user sends a request to the remote server via the client PC. The user-
developed program installed on the remote server receives the message from the
client PC and automatically sends it in the correct format to the connected MAMBOII
device. The MAMBOII device responses the remote server. The remote server returns the
requested information back to the client PC with help of the installed program. The
FALCOM does not provide any source code for such programs.

2.4 TCP/IP Overview
The MAMBOII represents over TCP/IP stack contained in the firmware 2.4.0 a kind of
serial communication.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the most widely used transport protocol for non-
real-time Internet applications like www, e-mail. It provides a connection-oriented end-
to-end service ensuring the reliable transfer of data.
As with all other communication protocols, TCP/IP is composed of following layers:
IP
is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards
each packet based on a four-byte destination address (the IP number). IP
operates on gateway machines that move data from department to
organization to region and then around the world.
TCP
is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server.
Data can be lost in the intermediate network. TCP adds support to detect
errors or lost data and to trigger retransmission until the data is correctly
and completely received.
PORT
is a name given to the package of subroutines that provide access to
TCP/IP on most system.
2.5 IEEE 802.15.4 Overview
IEEE 802.14.4 is an industry standard set of specifications for WLANs developed by the
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). IEEE 802.14.4 defines the physical
layer and media access control (MAC) sub-layer for wireless communications.
