The available connectivity options for the OrPT are described below.
2-4.1. RS-485 Connectivity
RS-485 is usually not used when OrPT is installed inside the Orpak home-base pedestals like
Islander Plus and ICR Plus.
The OrPT is assigned, as any other device, a unique address on the link. The Site Controller polls
each device in a sequential order for data and status record.
The Station Controller transmits the associated applications to the OrPT over the RS-485 link. This
results in relatively high data traffic. Consequently, it is not recommended to connect more than
two OrPT modules on the link.
Allocation of an RS-485 address to the OrPT is performed during setup at the power-up stage (for
specific instructions, please refer to Sections 3 & 4).

When using RS-485 communication it is
recommended splitting it into several RS-485 links,
with a single OrPT per link.

The advanced tools for remote setup and
maintenance are not available for the RS-485 Link.
These tools require TCP/IP link.
2-4.2. Ethernet Connectivity
The OrPT includes an Ethernet port that provides link to standard TCP/IP over Ethernet. The
OrPT, as any other module, is assigned with a unique IP address in the network. By using Web
technology, the OrPT enables setup, monitoring and maintenance either locally by any PC with a
browser, or remotely. In addition, the Ethernet link enables a large number of OrPTs linked to the
Station Controller just as Ethernet enables the link to the Web (see Figure 2-3).
The Ethernet connection wiring requires shielded CAT-5 cabling. Off-the-shelf Ethernet Hubs (or
Switches) are required for the LAN configuration and splitting the transmission with the other
devices in the Forecourt.
