Serial Line Replacement
To configure for the RMP Pipe protocol, perform the following steps:
1)Complete the Basic Radio Configuration instructions described in Chapter 4.
NOTE |
If you are replacing a serial line or serial network with two or more Ethernet Adapter units without using an Access Point, ensure that your radio is using
2)Complete the General Serial Configuration described in Chapter 5.
3)Click on the Serial tab.
4)Select the Protocol tab.
5)Select RMP
6)Click on the Rmp Pipe tab.
7)Configure the RMP Pipe parameters using the RMP Pipe Parameters as a guide.
NOTE |
In environments where there are only two Ethernet Adapter units being used, you do not need to change these settings from their default values. The default values allow two units to automatically detect each other and establish a connection.
RMP Pipe Parameters
This section provides detailed explanations of each RMP Pipe parameter.
∙Source Address. This is the RMP address the Ethernet Adapter uses to identify itself when sending serial data to another Ethernet Adapter. A value of “default” will cause the Ethernet Adapter to use its unique serial number as the RMP address. It is unlikely you will need to change this setting.
∙Source Address Filter. Setting this value will tell the Ethernet Adapter to only accept data coming from the specified address. For example, if this entry is set to “1234,” only data originating from a Ethernet Adapter with the RMP address of “1234” will be accepted. All other data will be ignored. The value “none” allows data from any RMP address to be accepted. The Source Address Filter value only needs to be changed if you have multiple RMP Passthrough Serial Line Replacement installations in close proximity.
