6.2.2. Terminal devices connected to COM

A MORSE network can only be expanded with RipEX modems if the application protocol is supported

both by MORSE and RipEX, or if RipEX's UNI protocol can be used instead. If you want to use protocols

which are not implemented in RipEX by default, please consult RACOM's technical support.

The COM port of the border RipEX and the RS232 of the border MRxxx are connected with crosslink

serial cable, see Fig. 6.2, “Crosslink serial cable”.

If the Master is located in the MORSE part of the network, the border MRxxx should use Multiaddressing

for addresses of all Slaves in the RipEX network. Protocol settings should reflect that. The border RipEX

then should be set up as connected to the Master using the appropriate protocol (address translation

using a mask or table, routing rules).

If the Master unit is located on the RipEX side of the network, rules for address translation should direct

all the packets sent to Slave units of the MORSE network to the COM port connected to the border

MRxxx. This COM port should then use an appropriate protocol in Slave mode. In the border RipEX

the timeout for response from technology should be extended from 500 ms to several seconds (the

response time will depend on the size of the MORSE network) – this parameter can only be set in CLI.

On the MORSE side, the protocol should be set to Master.
