3.19 Multicast Pipe Manager
Previously it has been difficult to connect a single TCP device,i.e., a Scada / DCS system to multiple remote multicast serial devices.
Multicast Pipe allows this type of connection.
An example would be a Scada system that needs to communicate with multiple remote serial devices.A modem can be placed at each remote
location and connected serially to each device.A multicast pipe is configured to communicate with all devices using a multicast address and port,
i.e., 224.0.1.1:5000.
The Scada then communicates with the remotes via the IP address of the Multicast Manager and the port selected in the configuration, i.e., 5001.
