received by the NCB-EL/FL described as Branch 1. Branch 1 NCB-EL/FL will send two TCP/IP
messages.
•
One message will be sent to the Branch 2 NCB-E/FLL. This NCB-EL/FL will determine that
the message is not to be sent on this particular segment of the Echelon network.
•
A second TCP/IP message is sent from the Branch 1 NCB-EL/FL to the Echelon Gateway
NCB-EL/FL. This router will send the message on this segment of the Echelon network to be
received by the Echelon Gateway.
The "Unicast/Replicated" setting is the only setting recommended when only two NCB-EL/FL
routers are used. When the "Unicast/Replicated" setting is used, a large amount of TCP/IP traffic
may be generated. This is especially true if a network contains several NCB-EL/FL routers, stand-
alone printer NIONs, and a backup Echelon Gateway; however, this will depend upon the
placement of the NIONs on the network. When using the Unicast/Replicated configuration, there
are no restrictions regarding placement of stand-alone printer NIONs or a backup Echelon
Gateway.
Again using
the setting for "Router Connects To" in the LAS "Add Router to Network" dialog box must be
"This Computer." Please see the Intelligent Fire Integrator™ Echelon Gateway manual for detailed
instructions on adding a router to the Echelon Gateway. When Branch 1 and Branch 2 routers are
added to the Echelon Gateway, each of them must be set to connect to the "Ech GW" router. For
example, the NCB-EL/FL router named "Ech GW" is bound to the Echelon Gateway as node 112.
When Branch 1 and Branch 2 routers are added to the Echelon Gateway, they are both "connected"
to node 112.
