3.0 Configuration
3.3.7 Peer-to-Peer (P2P)
P2P mode is used for communications between pairings of Remote modems,
e.g. Slave 12 can exchange data with (only) Slave 14, Slave 6 can exchange data with (only) Slave
7, etc.
There are no specific factory default settings for P2P modems.
To establish a basic P2P network:
Master
enter into Command Mode
load the &F1 factory default settings
change the Network Type (S133) to 2
change Packet Retransmissions (S113) from 5 to 0 (increase from 0 if required)
save the change using the AT&W command
go online with the ATA command
Slave 1
enter into Command Mode
load the &F2 factory default settings
change the Network Type (S133) to 2
change the Destination Address to 3 (to be the UA of Slave 2)
save the change using the AT&W command
go online with the ATA command
Slave 2
enter into Command Mode
load the &F2 factory default settings
change the Network Type (S133) to 2
change the Unit Address (S105) to 3
change the Destination Address to 2 (the UA of Slave 1)
save the change using the AT&W command
go online with the ATA command
The Master will broadcast (actually ‘re-broadcast’) the data incoming to it from both Slaves to all (2)
Slaves; one Slave’s data has a destination being the other Slave and vice versa.
A P2P network requires a
Master modem.
The data being
transmitted from one
Slave to another in P2P
mode is transferred via
the Master.
