Remote Terminology
Remote Bridge Address
Remote Bridge Address is the remote node address of the bridge device used
to connect two networks together.
Remote Station Address
Remote Station Address is the final destination address of a remote MSG
instruction.
Remote Bridge Link ID
Remote Bridge Link ID is a user assigned address that differentiates same type
networks from each other when multiple networks are connected together.
Passthru Link ID’s are required when initiating a Remote MSG.
All processors on a particular network need to have all the Passthru Link ID’s
set to the same address. Valid Link ID addresses are from 1 to 65,534. Note:
SLC processors can only initiate to remote networks with Link IDs in the
range of 1 to 254.
IMPORTANT
In a multi-network environment, each network must
have a unique Link ID (Pass Thru Link ID) for help
in obtaining acceptable results.
TIP
SLC Fixed Processors, SLC 5/01 and SLC 5/02 are all
non-remote MSG capable processors. When issuing a
remote message and the target device is non-remote
capable, a remote bridge address is needed.
TIP
Make sure that all processors on the same network
share the same Link ID.
