the inputs from an array of sensors.

Here,

DATA OUT ports with gcf_out as the service output data to the

serial inputs of another DCM or AM module, which aggregates them

all and sends them out over a network connection.

The DCM can handle multiple data sources with ease using the

gcf_out service. In practice, however, it is almost always preferable to

set up a local area network and use PPP over any serial links, so that
GCF, Web and SSH traffic can share the same connection. Setting up a

fully networked array is slightly more difficult than using

gcf_in and

gcf_out services, but provides much more flexibility.
