3. Enabling Polled AOT for information about starting polled AOT on Bay Networks routers Polled AOT Networking Polled AOT is a wide area network WAN protocol that enables transport of asynchronous data packets over a TCP IP network Unlike synchronous transmission asynchronous transmission does not use clocking signals to time the data transmission Instead asynchronous transmission uses start and stop bits to control the transmission Polled AOT transmissions use TCP timers and keepalive settings to ensure that there is an active TCP connection between two routers before any transmission attempt The router that you designate as the primary router transmits polls to a secondary router over the active TCP connection Because asynchronous transmissions are relatively slow 300 b s to 9600 b s polling ensures that the secondary router is available for asynchronous transmission 303536 A Rev 00 1 1 Configuring Polled AOT Transport Services In one sample application Figure 1 1 banks can use polled AOT to connect alarm hosts to remote alarm panels When an alarm host is connected to a local Bay Networks router the local router can establish a TCP IP connection with a remote router connected to an alarm panel The local router receives the asynchronous data packet from the alarm host and sends it over the TCP IP connection When the remote router receives the packet it strips the TCP IP information and forwards the alarm inf
