The IP Addresses used in the following illustrations are for example
purposes only. Contact your system administrator for IP addresses
unique to your network.
Example 1: DF1-to-Ethernet and Ethernet-to-DF1
In the following diagram, the SLC 5/03 sends a local message via
DF1 to the SLC 5/05 #1. The SLC 5/05 #1 acts as a bridge, sending
the message out via Ethernet to the SLC 5/05 #2, whose address is
stored in the routing table. SLC 5/05 #2 can also initiate a message
via Ethernet to the SLC5/03 processor through SLC 5/05 #1. The
SLC 5/05 #1 routes the message to SLC 5/03 via DF1.
Important: In the SLC 5/05 #1 bridge, Status File Bit S:34/5 must
be set to 1 to enable DF1-to-Ethernet passthru. Set
Status File Bit S:34/0 to 1 to disable DH485-to-Ethernet
passthru.
