R1 starts working again, R3 will revert to using R1 again in at most 5 minutes.

SATELLAR. The feature utilizes DSCP marking to rate the traffic, and then prioritize them according to a set of rules created by the user. So on a high level, QoS in can be divided into two sections: • DSCP marking • Traffic control SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...
Limiting the bandwidth in a Satellar network is a tricky business. In addition to the radio speed, a lot of other factors affect the available bandwidth. For example packet size, the number of repeaters and/or substations, the network topology and so on. SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...

Ethernet connections (Wi-Fi, USB-Ethernet dongle etc.), then one device can connected to one such connection at a time. One important reason is that SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...

Instead, all need to be configured individually with one connection type. This is done to avoid unnecessary and invalid syncing data sending. SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...

In a simple example firewall may not be needed actually to configure. Let’s say there are 2 substations with RTU or DTE and one master connected to some control unit such as SCADA. SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...

First the network is created and settings for each device configured.

These rules are not absolutely mandatory, but they are strongly recommended.

Page 110
One of the basic use cases for broadcast modes is to first block all forwarded traffic and then allow it to and from only some dedicated (in this case 192.168.1.222) address. An example of this can be seen in the next figure: SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...

Updater, it is necessary to know the current filesystem version number, so that the correct update file can be chosen. For example, if you need to install a new firmware version satel-2863, and your current filesys- tem version number is satel-2775, you need an update file named “satellar_27752863.update”. The current firmware version can be seen in Modem Info, CU category.

When the file is available, click “Select for update” to start the update process using that file (see chapter 8.3.1.4). Unneeded files can be deleted from the CU by checking the checkbox in the “x” column and clicking “Delete Selected”. SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9...
