Yes. Here is how this can be tested using fullMAC FW + G3 PLC GUI (the main thing is to send multicast packets which do not have ACK/NACK):
Choose the correct Freq. band and do modem setup on both modems per setup instruction (suggest FCC/FCC-High if in China grid) Do following settings in TX and RX GUI: TX GUI:
Primitives>Adaptation PIB > ADPM SET : Attribute = 0F, index= 0000, Value = 01, Then press GO. This makes the setup single hop and RX node will not rebroadcast the received multicast packet. In Dest Addr text box, use 8289 as destination. Enable Multicast check box below Dest Addr.
RX GUI:
Same as A-1 above From Mode > Program Group should be enabled. This enables receiving multicast packets sent to 8289. Primitives>Adaptation PIB > ADPM SET : Attribute = 02, index= 0000, Value = 0000, Then press GO. This make sure we don’t keep packets in broadcast log table of RX if TX is sending back to back multicast packets.
Now send packet from TX GUI, RX GUI will receive and there is no ACK/NACK or any other packets in the line.
