P-MP Master Mode

The P-MP (point-to-multipoint) mode is used to bridge an unlimited number of PULSE radio
networks together. This allows serial devices from different PULSE networks to talk to each other
via an Ethernet network. Data is transferred using low-latency UDP packets, making the solution
ideal for polling applications.
The following diagram shows a typical context in which an iPULSE radio configured as a P-MP
Master is used.
In this scenario, serial data from the application running on the computer is sent to an existing
PULSE radio (PULSE radio 1), that relays the data to iPULSE radio 1. iPULSE radio 1, configured
as a P-MP Master, encapsulates this data in UDP packets that are broadcast to the iPULSE radios
configured as P-MP Remotes (iPULSE radio 2 and iPULSE radio 3). The P-MP remotes in turn
relay the data to the PULSE radios in their respective networks.
