    This is currently used for communication with a SpeedNet ME Radio in an IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter through the IntelliRupter fault interrupter Wi-Fi interface. SpeedNet ME Radios do not route traffic to other radios from the PPP interface due to security concerns.
  • Page 33 DNP communication. UDP is the default setting. • Enable DNP Dynamic Port—Enabling the DNP Dynamic Port feature causes the SpeedNet ME Radio to monitor SCADA traffic to determine the source port for each data stream. Port information is stored internally, allowing the SpeedNet ME Radio to know which port to send received packets to on the SCADA master.

  • Page 34: Multiple Scada Masters

    Multiple SCADA SpeedNet ME Radios have a feature that allows multiple SCADA masters that use the same SCADA address to connect to a single SpeedNet ME Radio. When this feature is Masters enabled, the connected SpeedNet ME Radio continually monitors DNP traffic. For multiple SCADA masters using the same SCADA address, the SpeedNet ME Radio will consider the master to be the device that sent the most recent data packet.
