(CD:\napdos\multimedia\M2M-711D\manual\M2M-711Duser manual.pdf)
M2M-711D provides 2 major technologies on networking:
(1)VxServer mode(Wi-Fi): This connection method needs a Wi-Fi AP (Access Point)
in the working field. M2M-711D connects to Internet via Wi-Fi AP, and then
establishes connection with VxServer Software on PC. The architecture is shown
below:

M2M-711D Quick Start (Version 2.20 Mar/2012) PAGE: 2
(2)Pair-Connection: This communication mode takes two M2M-711D modules, one
works as an Ethernet Server; the other works as a Client, and use two computers to
test and operate the M2M-711D modules. The architecture is shown below:
