    The router compares the destination IP 192.168.2.2 with its own ethernet address 192.168.2.1/24 and determines that the packet’s destination is within its ETH network and sends the packet over the ethernet interface – eventually, the packet is received by RTU 2.

    We have to remember our hop has two ends, i.e. the solution may be to change antenna or its placement at the opposite end. If everything fails, it is better to use another site as a repeater. Even if such prob- RipEX Radio modem & Router – © RACOM s.r.o.

    Unfortunately for RF network designers, the real world is seldom that simple. The conditions desireable for every single radio hop were discussed in previous paragraphs. If we are lucky, assuming different layouts meeting those conditions are possible, we should exploit those layouts © RACOM s.r.o. – RipEX Radio modem & Router...
