Master Site Repeater Configuration
Only the master site in a PLC Emulation network will have the
repeater routing information. PLC Emulation Example 1
(Figure 4) uses two ESTeem 195M/H/C radio modems as
repeaters. There is a stand-alone repeater at IP address
172.16.10.181 (Address 181) and a second repeater site that
is also a remote location at IP address 172.16.10.183
(Address 183). Each of these locations will need to be
configured as “routes” in the table (Figure 16).
Once the repeater routes have been identified in the network, the append entries will instruct the ESTeem 195M/H/C which
remote addresses use these routes. The append entry creates a group of address from the Start ID to the End ID. Refer to
Figure 4 and note address 182 and 183 (repeater and also a remote site) will use the repeater (address 181). Enter Route 1
with a start address of 182 and an end address of 183. Append entry 2 will use repeater route 2 and addresses 184 through
185 will use this route.
Once all repeater entries have been completed, press the
Write Tables button (Figure 15) to save the values in the Master Site.
For further detail on repeaters and their configuration, please refer to Chapter 4 of this User’s Manual.
Remote Site Configuration (Remote Site 184 for Example)
The remote site configuration will be similar on all remote locations. Only the address and destination address will change.
1. Set remote site address to 184.
2. Set the operating frequency to 456.500 MHz.
3. Set the destination address as the path to the
Master site (183,181,180). See Figure 17.
4. Set the data interface to the RS-232 DATA port
(Port 3).
5. Set the operating mode to PLC Emulation and
Remote.
Once all the above software commands are
adjusted to their correct parameters, press the
Write Config button to send the changes to the
195C, 195M or 195H. The modem will reset and
be ready for operation on the selected serial port.
