The following serial port modes are available: See Figure 53.
•
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 ME Radio in an IntelliRupter® PulseCloser® Fault Interrupter through the
IntelliRupter fault interrupter Wi-Fi interface. SpeedNet ME Radios do not route traffic
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 ME Radio serial port and other Ethernet devices.
Note:
The
Repeater/SpeedGate Mode
setting is not available because that function-
ality is not supported on the ME platform.
