(“Commit changes” displayed only on Access Point units)
This is a display of current utilization of 10 zones, each of eight RF
operating frequencies. Zones can be toggled between
Active and
Skipped at Access Point units by first keying in the letter of the zone
to be changed, and then pressing the space bar to toggle between
the two options for each zone. Select the
Commit Changes menu item
to implement changes. These changes will be forwarded to all units
in the network through the Access Point’s beacon signal.
A maximum of three zones can be skipped and still be compliant
with FCC regulations.
2.5 CONFIGURING THE SERIAL
INTERFACES
2.5.1 Overview
Modes
There are two modes of operation for the MDS iNET 900 Serial
Gateway model. The first mode is IP-to-Serial which provides a “ter-
minal server” type functionality which uses TCP to establish connec-
tivity between an IP-enabled host and the iNET
COM ports. The second
mode is Serial-to-Serial which uses UDP to provide point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint serial connectivity between the Access Point’s
COM
port(s) and one or more Remote
COM port(s).
Essentially the same services are available for both serial ports:
COM1
and
COM2. Note that the iNET COM1 port is DCE and COM2 is DTE.
Therefore, if the RTU to be connected is also DTE, then a null-modem
cable will need to be used when connecting to
COM2.
