RMP Pipe Parameters
This section provides detailed explanations of each RMP Pipe parameter.
Source Address. This is the RMP address the Ethernet Adapter uses to identify itself
when sending serial data to another Ethernet Adapter. A value of “default” will cause
the Ethernet Adapter to use its unique serial number as the RMP address. It is unlikely
you will need to change this setting.
Source Address Filter. Setting this value will tell the Ethernet Adapter to only accept
data coming from the specified address. For example, if this entry is set to “1234,” only
data originating from a Ethernet Adapter with the RMP address of “1234” will be
accepted. All other data will be ignored. The value “none” allows data from any RMP
address to be accepted. The Source Address Filter value only needs to be changed if
you have multiple RMP Passthrough Serial Line Replacement installations in close
proximity.
If you are replacing a serial line or serial network with two or more Ethernet
Adapter units without using an Access Point, ensure that your radio is using
Ad-hoc mode.
In environments where there are only two Ethernet Adapter units being used,
you do not need to change these settings from their default values. The
default values allow two units to automatically detect each other and
establish a connection.
