Local Port
The
Local Port
is important if you want to receive information from a peripheral
device to your the Processor Unit. The number you define here must match the port
number on the peripheral device that is providing the information. This peripheral
device is for example a sensor on the network, or another navigation or hydroacoustic
system. To find the port number on the peripheral device, consult the documentation
for the device, and/or the application to be used on it.
If the data communication is set up to only export information from the Processor Unit
to a peripheral device, this
Local Port
parameter is not required.
Remote IP Address
The
Remote IP Address
is the Internet Protocol (IP) address for a peripheral device.
This peripheral device is for example a sensor on the network, or another navigation
or hydroacoustic system. If the data communication between your Processor Unit and
the peripheral device is set up to only import data from the device, the remote IP
address is not required.
If you want to export information from the Processor Unit to one or more peripheral
devices (
Broadcast mode), set
Remote IP Address
to 255.255.255.255. This is the
default setting. If you want to use point-to-point communication in a closed network,
set the remote IP address manually.
Remote Port
The
Remote Port
is important if you want to export information from the Processor
Unit to a peripheral device on the local area network (LAN). If you want to use
point-to-point communication in a closed network, set the remote IP address manually.
The application on the peripheral device will "listen" to this port number.
If you want to establish point-to-point communication for data import from a peripheral
device on the network, you may need to define the network port on this device.
To find the port number on the peripheral device, consult the documentation for the
device, and/or the application to be used on it.
