IP/Radio Network Setup and Configuration
The following conditions are assumed for this example:
• Radio (RF) link is good between AP and Remote 1, and AP and Remote 2.
• IP addresses are properly configured as shown in Figure 33.
• mode is enabled in all radios, and the
Packet w/MAC
with the IP address equal to 192.168.1.2.
• Ethernet Bridge is enabled in all radios.
Serial Addressability
This example shows that it is possible to communicate to specific serial devices (e.g., PC 2
COM1, and PC 3 COM1) over the radio network. Note that TCP is used as the transport layer for
communication here, which provides data reliability at the application level.
Configure Remote 1 and Remote 2 by navigating to the
1.
screen and setting the parameters as listed below. (Note that an Ethernet connection to Re-
mote 1 and Remote 2 — not shown in Figure 33— will be required for this step unless Se-
rial is used.)
Status: Enabled
Mode: TCP Server Socket
Local Radio Port: 30000
Connection Timeout: 0 Seconds
Persistent Connection: Yes
TCP<->RTU Conversion:
