Send all Ethernet packets with high priority
If this option is enabled, all of this device's PLC data packets are sent with high prior-
ity.
We recommend not enabling this setting so that different prioritisations remain possible
depending on the service.
Packets destined for devices which are not on the network are discarded
If this option is enabled, undeliverable Unicast data packets are discarded by the PLC
network without transmission.
Receiver devices are not detected as being available in the network if the number of
consecutive lost packets to that node meets or exceeds the value configured under
Maximum allowed consecutive error events .
Example : 3 is configured. A failed delivery attempt is repeated twice without success.
After that, no more data packets are sent to the receiver for the configured packet dis-
card time. Once the configured packet discard time has elapsed, all data packets are al-
lowed through to that node again.
Error events can cause network-wide disruptions and data transmission de-
lays.
Ethernet over UDP
Ethernet data packets are transmitted over the G3-PLC network using UDP.
