By default, the radio's
port is configured for serial management functions with a connected
COM1
PC, but it may be configured for data service using the web interface. This arrangement allows
two telemetry networks to share a single radio system.
Packet w/MAC is the recommended method of operation when both serial ports are used to pass
payload data if there are two hosts (e.g., Port Sharing with multiple host case). If there is a single
host polling all units, packet or transparent mode is the preferred option even if there are two
RTUs connected to a Remote radio.
