Command: vr_create_virtport_all.sh
The vr_create_virtport_all.sh command is used to create virtual ports that allow the Ethernet protocol
to be used to communication with modules connected to the communications module.
Virtual Ports
MSS communications are supported using Ethernet and RS-485 protocols. Modules may use one
protocol or the other, or both. The configuration commands described on the previous page, including
vr_enum, vr_setid, vr_refresh and vr_debug_putty.py use only the RS-485 protocol. For modules that
only support Ethernet, a virtual port must be set up to bridge the RS-485 to Ethernet for the
Communications Module port to which the device is attached. The vr_create_virtport_all.sh can be
used to create the required virtual ports.
