Multipoint Modes
Item Description
Multipoint Hub Router
When in static SCPC, the option exists for configuring the modems into a hub and spoke
network with a shared outbound at the hub. All of the modems at the hub should be put
in “Multipoint Hub Router” mode.
Note: If a modem at the remote is configured to be a Hub router there will be significant
degradation to network performance due to the potential for routing loops.
Multipoint Remote Router
Select Multipoint Remote Router for all remote modems in a multipoint network. A
Remote router would be classified as a modem which receives the shared outbound and
transmits back to the hub on a dedicated SCPC channel
Point-to-Point Mode
Item Description
Point-to-Point Router
Select for use in a Point-to-Point SCPC link where there are different IP subnets on
either side of the link.
