IP9xx Series
6.0 Configuration
IP Protocol Config (continued)
In a Point-to-Multipoint (PMP)
network topology which is to
utilize UDP multicast, typically
the
MASTER would be
configured as ‘(P)‘ (the
POINT) and the REMOTES
would
be configured as
‘(MP)‘ (the MULTIPOINTS).
UDP Point-to-Multipoint (MP): This protocol is selected on the
units which are to receive multicast UDP packets, typically the
Remote units. See the previous description of UDP Point-to-
Multipoint (P).

Remote IP Address
The IP address of a distant device (IP Series or, for
example, a PC) to which the unit sends UDP
packets of data received on the serial port. Most
often this is the IP address of the Master IP Series.
Default:
0.0.0.0

Remote Port
The UDP port associated with the Remote IP
Address (above). In the case of this ‗Remote‘
being the Master IP Series, the value in this field
should match the Listening Port of the Master (see
UDP Point-to-Multipoint (P)).
Default:
20011

Multicast IP Address
A valid MULTICAST address that this unit will use
to receive multicast UDP packets sent by a UDP
Point-to-Multipoint (P) unit. Note that the default
value for this field matches the default Multicast IP
Address of the UDP Point-to-Multipoint (P)
configuration described on the previous page.
Default:
224.1.1.1

Multicast Port
The UDP port that this unit will use, along with the
Multicast IP Address detailed above, to receive the
multicast UDP packets sent by the UDP Point-to-
Multipoint (P) unit.
Default:
20001
