all messages originate from Ethernet devices connected to the master wireless device or when a wireless network only has a master

and slave device (one-to-one networks), this feature can be selected, suppressing re-broadcast messaging. In most cases this

switch will have little to no affect on performance.

Master Re-broadcast Multicast: Factory default setting is OFF (not selected). With this feature off, the master wireless device does

not re-broadcast Multicast messages received from radio devices out to the radio network. Multicast messages are found in certain

protocols such as EtherNet/IP. To create a network with multiple end devices that want to use multicast messaging to communicate,

enable this feature. The performance is decreased when using this feature.

Optimize the wireless network operation by connecting Ethernet devices that create (produce) multicast messages to slave/repeater

devices.

When the device is a master: By default, the Ethernet Data Radio is set, from the master radio, to operate as a star network. Only

the master radio selects when the network is in star configuration and when it is in MultiHop configuration.

When the device is a slave: When the device is a slave radio, select slave operation or repeater operation. If the network operates

as a star network, only the slave configuration is recognized. Only MultiHop networks use repeater radios.

Use the Network section to change the IP address if needed. If you change the IP address, carefully make note of the new address,

then cycle power to the radio to activate the new IP address. To reset the IP address to its factory default settings, press and hold

down the reset button on the ethernet board (see Wiring Connections section) for ten seconds.

The Device section displays the Ethernet Radio model number, serial number, version number, and uptime setting. When calling the

factory for technical assistance, have this information available.

The Ethernet Statistics section displays the number received and transmitted Ethernet packets and indicates if any receive or

transmit errors have occurred.
