VIPER ROUTER GENERATOR (VRG) PROGRAM
CalAmp has developed a Viper Route Generator (VRG) application that assists in generating the Viper’s neighbor or
router tables and also generates the configuration files for all the radios in your project within minutes.

You should try to choose an IP addressing scheme so that the master Viper’s address is always first in a sequence and
then the remote IP addresses to follow in that sequence.
The VRG application can be downloaded from CalAmp. Contact CalAmp Technical Support to obtain the VRG
application and instructions for its use.

MULTISPEED NETWORKING
When using the Viper SC+ with a Viper SC+ multi-speed base station, it is possible to configure the network for
multispeed operation. With the base station enabled as the
rate controller
, the remote device becomes a
rate follower
.
The rate controller (base station) can be configured to talk at different over-the-air data rates for each remote Viper.
This allows the user to uniquely control the data rate for each RF link in the system using the Base Station configuration
interface web pages. The user can program RF links with strong signal strength to communicate at fast data rates and
RF links with low signal strength can be programmed to communicate at more-robust, slower data rates. Even if data
rates vary from Viper to Viper, every Viper in the network must be programmed for the same bandwidth.
