Remoting: Client
The echo sounder program can function as a client receiving
data from an echo sounder program running on another
processing unit connected to the LAN. In this case data are
transferred as UDP packets from/to the client through an
Ethernet card with a specific IP address.
The client page is only used if you want to use the echo sounder
program as a client receiving data from another echo sounder
program. If you have more than one network card you can select
which one to use for client operations from the list of IP
addresses. The remote port number is the port number on the
server which is used to establish the initial connection. This
number must be equal to the local port number found on the
server page in the remoting dialogue on the server which you
want to connect to. Normally the client broadcasts a message to
obtain information on echo sounder programs running on the
LAN. A list of these programs is displayed when the
Data
Source dialogue is opened. In some network set-ups
broadcasting is not a practical solution, and in these cases the
communication mode can be changed from broadcast to
point-to-point and a specific remote IP address for the server
which you want to connect to can be set.
