2.5 Point to Point System
Shown below are typical “point to point” and “point to multipoint” connections between ViPR units. The
connections indicated allow for either Ethernet or serial interfaces. The Ethernet connection provides
Ethernet IP connectivity for network devices. In bridge mode, all the network devices are on the same IP
Subnet. In router mode, the Ethernet connection on Master unit and the remote(s) use different IP Sub-
nets. A hub or switch may be used to allow multiple Ethernet devices to connect to the ViPR radio-
modem. Serial connections are transparent pass-through connections, allowing the use of legacy serial
devices in the ViPR product environment.
