Secure Modem Output Source

telem.output.secureModem (peripheralID: string)

Responds to requests from SecureModemInputAdapter clients. Connections between computers are established over wired or wireless modems, through encrypted tunnels using the ECNet2 protocol. Clients must be on the same network as this output adapter.

Usage

Computer 1: Transmitter

local telem = require 'telem'

-- contents of /.ecnet2/address.txt: "abc123="

local backplane = telem.backplane()
  :addInput('custom_short', telem.input.custom(function ()
    return { custom_short_1 = 929, custom_short_2 = 424.2 }
  end))
  :addOutput('secure_out', telem.output.secureModem('modemID'))

parallel.waitForAny(backplane:cycleEvery(1))

Computer 2: Receiver

local telem = require 'telem'

local backplane = telem.backplane()
	:addInput('my_securemodem', telem.input.secureModem('modemID', 'abc123='))

parallel.waitForAny(backplane:cycleEvery(1))

Behavior

This adapter does not participate in scheduled cycles like other output adapters. Instead, it utilizes setAsyncCycleHandler() to register a coroutine that listens for ECNet2 connections and responds to metric requests immediately.

The collection used for responses is pulled from the collection property of this adapter's associated Backplane, which will be updated with metrics produced during scheduled cycles.
