Point-To-Multipoint Ip-To-Serial Application Example - GE MDS iNET Series Reference Manual

Establishing a Connection
From the PC, establish a TCP connection to the IP address of the Remote transceiver and to the IP port as
configured in Table 2-1 (30010—COM1, 30011—COM2). A Telnet client application can be used to estab-
lish this connection. Data can now be sent between the PC and the RTU or other connected device.

2.6.9 Point-to-Multipoint IP-to-Serial Application Example

The operation and data flow for this mode is very similar to Point-to-Point serial-to-serial application,
except that it uses multicast addressing. The primary difference is that the PC uses UDP to communicate
with all of the Remotes. Upon receiving the packet, each Remote strips the data out of the UDP packet and
sends it from its port. Likewise, data presented at any of the Remotes'
COM
to the PC using the Access Point (see Figure 2-48 and Table 2-2 on Page 60).
