NEIGHBOR TABLE
Neighbor Table is the third (from left) tab of the RF Network Settings page. To navigate to this tab, select RF Network

The appearance of the Neighbor Table displayed and the controls provided to generate, build, or maintain it, will differ

Neighbor Table for Bridge Mode
In Bridge mode, the Neighbor Table tab allows you to add relay points to the Neighbor Table manually by adding the RF
MAC address for each Viper. Vipers may be designated as Dynamic or as a Relay Point. Remote Units may also be
deleted from the list if required. The Neighbor Table feature allows unicast data packets to be sent as a directed
message to a Viper that has been designated as a relay point. Other relay points will not repeat this message. However,
if a broadcast message is sent, then all relay points will repeat the broadcast IP packets.
Note:
Most serial data will be sent as broadcast packets unless specifically programmed as unicast UDP or TCP packets.
