The member “Ech GW” is designated as the IP Central Site Member. When the “Ech GW” router
receives a message from its Echelon segment, it will send one message to each of the other routers
on the TCP/IP network. When the other routers on the TCP/IP network receive a message on their
respective Echelon segments, they will only send one TCP/IP message to the “LAS” router. This
setting will only support SAP(s) or a backup LAS attached to the same Echelon segment as the
primary LAS. This configuration is shown in
.

Using the IP Central Site setting may reduce the configuration when channel members are added or
removed from the TCP/IP network. Typically, the IP Central Site Member will have to be modified
as well as any members that are to be added to this channel. When using this configuration, the
“Targets” value for the IP Central Site Member should be “All in Channel,” and the remaining
member “Targets” value should be set to “Central Site.”
