PCAN-Ethernet Gateway DR – User Manual
30
IP Address:
Enter the IP address (IPv4) of the destination device. It
should be noted that only values from 0 to 255 may be used and
certain address ranges are reserved.
In the first field, enter a value less than 224, since addresses
starting from this value are reserved for Multicast messages
Depending on the Subnet mask, the highest device address is
reserved for broadcast messages. For the Subnet mask
255.255.255.0 and the network address 192.168.1.xxx, the
reserved address would be: 192.168.1.255
Depending on the Subnet mask the lowest device address is
reserved for messages that are addressed to the entire network.
For the Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and the network address
192.168.1.xxx, the reserved address would be: 192.168.1.0
Port:
Enter a port between 1024 and 65535. Values below 1024 are
reserved for various system services and must therefore not be
used.
Protocol:
Select which transmission protocol should be used by the
route in the IP network.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) establishes a connection
between two subscribers and monitors their communication. If data
packets are lost for example, they are retransmitted.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) sends the data packets directly into
the network without establishing a connection. With this protocol,
error free transmission is not guaranteed. The advantage UDP has
over TCP is the lower demand on performance.
Note:
Any combination of the IP address, port, and protocol can
only be used once.
