Note 1: All the ViPRs’ RF IP addresses are on the same network. Because they are using
the 10.0.0.0/8 network, all ViPRs may use the default RF IP address programmed by the
factory.
Note 2: All the ViPR Ethernet IP addresses are on different networks.
Note 3: Computers, PLCs, RTUs, or other Ethernet capable devices can be connected up
to each ViPR’s local Ethernet interface. That device must be set with an IP address on
the same network as the Ethernet interface of the ViPR it is connected with.

Each ViPR has an Ethernet IP address on a unique network.
In this example, each network connected to the ViPR’s local Ethernet port has 14 valid
IP addresses that may used for the ViPR, PLCs, RTUs, computers, or other Ethernet
equipment that may be connected.
The subnet mask of the RF IP addresses has been changed to ensure that the RF IP
network does not overlap any of the Ethernet networks. In this scenario, the RF IP
addresses must be manually programmed to ensure that every ViPR has an RF IP
address in the network and that no RF IP address is used twice.
