Figure 65. The Serial Mode interface configuration window.
The following serial port modes are available: See Figure 65.
• PPP
—The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) mode is used for emulating an Ethernet
connection over a serial interface. This is currently used for communication with a
SpeedNet Radio in an IntelliRupter fault interrupter through the fault interrupter’s
Wi-Fi interface. SpeedNet Radios do not route traffi c to other radios from the PPP
interface due to security concerns
• DNP
—The Distributed Network Protocol (DNP) mode is used for transferring DNP
data between the SpeedNet Radio serial port and other Ethernet devices
• Repeater/SpeedGate
—The Repeater/SpeedGate mode is used for SpeedNet Radios
that operate as fi xed repeaters within a network
• Serial Pass-Through
—The Serial Pass-Through feature allows support for legacy
equipment on the serial port using non-DNP3 serial protocols, such as Modbus
• Apply

end of the PPP link
• Remote IP Address
—IP address assigned to the remote device of the PPP link
