Property Description
R/W
on which devices are attached to be determined
automatically. Configured routers also support the
use of redundant routers (multiple routers
connecting two channels), which provide for
redundant message paths and greater system
reliability.
• Learning. Like a configured router, the router
determines which packets to forward based on
internal routing tables. Learning routers, though,
have their routing tables stored in volatile memory;
therefore, the router forwards packets addressed to
all subnets in the application domain after being
reset. Whenever a learning router receives a packet
from one of its channels, it uses the source subnet
ID to learn the network topology. It sets the
corresponding routing table entries to indicate that
the subnet in question is to be found in the direction
from which the packet was received. A learning
router always forwards all group-addressed
messages.
• Repeater. The router forwards all valid packets
received on one channel to the other channel.
Subnets cannot span non-permanent repeaters. You
can use a non-permanent repeater to maintain
flexibility in order to change the router type later.
• Bridge. The router forwards all valid packets that
match the network domain. Subnets cannot span
non-permanent bridges. You can use a
non-permanent bridge to maintain flexibility in
order to change the router type later.
• Unknown. The SmartServer automatically select
the appropriate router type.
A 16-digit hexadecimal MD5 authentication key to be
used for the IP-852 channel.
r/w
The IP address of the IP-852 Configuration Server
connected to the SmartServer.
r/w
The port used by the IP-852 Configuration Server to
receive messages from the SmartServer. The default
port is 1629.
r/w
The port used by the SmartServer to receive messages
from the IP-852 Configuration Server. The default port
is 1628.
r/w
ON W ORKS Addr_IP> The domain, subnet, node address of the IP-852 router r
on the IP channel connected to the SmartServer.
