# RF Network

## IP Forwarding Mode

Bridge / Router, Defaults to Bridge mode. Use Router for more advanced IP configurations.

## Access Point

Yes/No (default)

The system should not be configured for more than one access point. The access point is considered the gateway to the management network.

## Relay Point

Yes/No (default)
For units that are spread over multiple RF coverage areas, the user needs to identify the ones that will form the backbone between the coverage areas so that any unit can talk to any other unit in the network regardless of their locations. The units that are forming the backbone between the coverage areas are called Relay Point units. Selecting this parameter will force the unit to repeat all necessary information from one coverage area to the next. Refer to the user manual for more details.

## Multi-Speed Mode

When Multi-Speed mode is disabled, the units communicate with each other at a fixed speed. A unit can be set to operate as a Multi-Speed Master or as a Multi-Speed Slave. A unit set to operate in Multi-Speed slave mode matches the speed of the unit set to operate in Multi-Speed master mode. In a network operating with Multi-Speed, there must be at most one Multi-Speed master unit, all other units must operate in Multi-Speed slave mode.

## RF IP Address

The RF IP address (default: assigned by factory based on the unit's MAC address) is the RF IP address that is used when sending data and control packets in a Viper network.

## RF Netmask

The Netmask (default: 255.0.0.0) is set to a valid common RF IP Netmask for all units in a Viper network.

## RF MAC Address

Select "Custom" and enter the RF MAC address or select "Default" to set the default assigned by factory.

## MTU

Maximum Transfer Unit (default: 1500 bytes). The Maximum transfer unit is the maximum number of bytes the unit will send in a packet. The input range is from 100 to 1500.
