Bridge Mode Example - RACOM RipEX User Manual

2.2.3. Configuration examples
You can see an example of IP addresses of the SCADA equipment and RipEX's ETH interfaces in the
picture below.
In Bridge mode, the IP address of the ETH interface of RipEX is not relevant for user data communic-
ation. However it is strongly recommended to assign a unique IP address to each RipEXs' ETH interface,
since it allows for easy local as well as remote service access. Moreover, leaving all RipEX's with the
same (= default) IP on the ETH interface may cause serious problems, when more RipEX's are con-
nected to the same LAN, even if by accident (e.g. during maintenance).

Step 7
RipEX2 sends repeated packet to its COM1 and COM2.
RTU2 doesn't react, because the packet is addressed to
FEP.
RipEX3 and FEP's RipEXes do not send the repeated
packet to their COM ports, because it has been handled
already.
FEP processes the reply from RTU3 and polling cycle
continues...
