Neighbour RSSI

Name

A name that describes the Neighbour (Max 32 characters).

Neighbour IP

IP address of the Neighbour module you wish to monitor. IP
address should be the Radio address of the WI-I/O 9-U2

Register

Register location the RSSI value will be stored in.

Save Changes

Save changes to non-volatile memory. The module will need to be
restarted before the changes take effect.

Save Changes

and Reset.

Save settings to non-volatile memory, and reboot WI-I/O 9-U2.
Once the module has completed the reboot sequence, all changes
are in effect.

4.4.3 IP Routing

When a WI-I/O 9-U2 receives an IP frame that is destined for an IP address on a
different network, it checks to see if the network address matches one of its own
interfaces (i.e. hard-wired Ethernet, or Radio) and forwards the frame appropriately.
However, if the IP network address does not match the network address of any of its
interfaces, the WI-I/O 9-U2 will forward the frame to its default gateway. In this case it is
assumed that the default gateway has a valid route to the destination.

In some cases, it is not practical to have just one default gateway (i.e. routed wireless
networks with more than two WI-I/O 9-U2

routers. If more than one “next-hop router” is

required, the WI-I/O 9-U2 allows for up to 100 routing rules to be configured. A routing
rule specifies a destination network (or host) IP address and the corresponding next-
hop router that messages for the specified destination will be forwarded to (Gateway). It
is assumed that the Gateway will then deliver the data to the required destination (or
forward it on to another router that will).

IP Routing

Name

A name to describe the routing rules (Max 32 characters).

Destination

The destination network or Host IP address. You can specify a
whole network by entering the IP range 192.168.0.0 with a Netmask
of 255.255.255.0 or specify an individual host IP address by setting
the Netmask to 255.255.255.255.
