Figure 3-43. UDP Point-to-Multipoint Menu
Use UDP point-to-multipoint to send a copy of the same packet to mul-
tiple destinations, such as in a polling protocol.
• Status —Enable/Disable the serial data port.
• Mode —The type of IP port offered by the transceiver’s serial
device server. [ TCP, UDP; TCP ]
• RX IP Port —Receive IP data from this source and pass it
through to the connected serial device. The port number must
be used by the application connecting to local TCP or UDP
socket. [
Any valid IP port; 30010 ]
• TX IP Address (used instead of Local IP Address when using
UDP Point-to-Multipoint)— Configure with a valid Multi-
cast address (224.0.0.0–239.255.255.255). IP packets
received with a matching destination address are processed
by this unit. [
Any legal IP address; 0.0.0.0 ]
• TX IP Port (used instead of Local IP Port when using UDP
Point-to-Multipoint)—This port number must match the
number used by the application connecting to local TCP or
UDP socket. [
1-64,000; 30010 ]
• Baud Rate —Data rate (payload) for the
COM
port, in
bits-per-second. [ 1,200—115,200; 19200 ]
• Byte Format —Formatting of data bytes, representing data bits,
parity and stop bits. [ 7N1, 7E1, 7O1, 8N1, 8E1, 8O1, 8N1, 7N2, 7E2,
7O2, 8N2, 8E2, 8O2; 8N1 ]
• Buffer Size —Maximum amount of characters that the Remote
end buffers locally before transmitting data through the serial
port. [
1—255; 255 ]
• Inter-Packet Delay —Amount of time that signal the end of a
message, measured in tenths of a second. [ default = 1 (that is,
1/10th of a second) ]
