Decommissioning The Module - Siemens RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Configuration Manual

Overview
1.9 Decommissioning the Module
Figure 1.4
In this scenario, the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 is reached via a routed interface. This is
accomplished by moving the RUGGEDCOM APE1808 port onto its own VLAN, and
creating a point-to-point connection between it and the control module.
The figure shows six serial ports available on serial LM 3. In order to become
network-accessible, these ports must be configured as socket ports that allow
incoming calls on TCP ports 5001 (ser-3-1) through 5006 (ser-3-6). While any
address on the RX1500 control module may be used to connect the RUGGEDCOM
APE1808 to these ports, switch.0001, switch.0002, and dummy0 addresses are
recommended. In particular, dummy0 addresses are useful when router redundancy
is implemented.
As in the previous scenario, devices on the 192.168.0.0/24 subnet are still available
to the RUGGEDCOM APE1808; however, in this scenario, they are available through
routing.
