RF542 Network Transmitter
Description
The RF542 Network transmitter is essentially an RF512 with the RF communications replaced by Network
communications. Task information and data is transmitted to the associated RF500A/AP via a standard
TCP/IP type connection.
Connections to Network
This device supports 100Mbps, half duplex. It has a DHCP client so IP address will be assigned by the
network, there is no facility to set a static IP address.
Ports in Use
Port 10003: All task and data information is sent over this port, information over this link is bi-directional.
Bandwidth Considerations
During normal operation data is sent within a single TCP/IP packet (maximum size 512KB) at a minimum
interval of 60 seconds. During certain events (new firmware/ADR) the transmitter will “burst transmit” for a
10 second period sending as much data as it can within this time, depending on network conditions this
could be 20 TCP/IP packets.
Data Encryption
Data is not encrypted in a traditional sense, however nor is it an open format (such as plain text ASCII). The
data structure is entirely proprietary to Comark and all data is in a binary format, without knowing the
structure the data is unintelligible.
