Baud Rate for local Terminal RTU 19200 This is the baud rate that is used to communicate with the customer supplied equipment or a computer if using the Internet Intranet mode Any standard baud rate from 300 to 115200 baud can be used but if you want 115200 baud you must enter 11520 and leave off the last zero This is due to the way ExtraNET CC stores the number in a 16 bit register that only goes to 65535 Standard baud rates supported are 300 600 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 and 115200 baud This is the baud rate used to communicate with the customer equipment not the actual baud rate used over the satellite or the cellular system Use RS232 Y or RS485 N Y Finally you can select the levels used to communicate with the customer equipment RS232 is available on the DB9 connector while both RS232 and RS485 are available on the 5 pin phoenix connector provided Refer to the wiring diagrams for more information on connecting customer equipment G Configure Globalstar Modem Provided for direct access to the Globalstar 1620 data port on the modem Any of the recognized AT commands may be executed While in this mode ExtraNET CC will not recognize any normal data connects to the Globalstar gateway and will not negotiate the PPP session It is important that you properly exit this mode or you will render the ExtraNET CC non functional for normal applications To exit this mode you must enter QUIT all
10. User Datagram Protocol over IP Internet Protocol sometimes referred to as UDP IP UDP is a connectionless protocol that is typically used to broadcast data to a node or group of nodes In SCADA applications it allows data to be sent efficiently to a node where other protocols such as TCP Transmission Control Protocol is a connected protocol that requires that each packet transmitted be checked for errors and either acknowledged or retransmitted 25 Since most protocols such as BSAP Bristol Serial Asynchronous Protocol MODBUS ROC Emerson Fisher Rosemont and other common SCADA application protocols have built in error detection and retries using the TCP protocol simply adds overhead an reduces overall inefficiency Through clever use of the UDP protocol it is possible to optimize the performance over an IP network As an example if you transmit a packet of user protocol BSAP MODBUS ROC etc and send it as a single UDP packet over the network then you reduce the amount of packets that have to be reassembled on the other end before a RTU can respond Sometimes you can simply adjust your UDP packet size to improve performance but we have found that knowing a little bit about the user application protocol can result in greatly improved performance Crystalline Technology Inc has developed a simple API Application Programmer Interface that actually performs a very basic parsing of a BSAP message The API determin
