Remote Control: As Server
Purpose
The
tab parameters are used when you wish
As Server
to set up your EK15 as a server in a larger network.
This is typically used when a second computer is
installed somewhere else on the vessel to monitor –
and control – EK15 operations.
Description
If you have two network cards in your computer we strongly suggest that you:
• use the first network card for communication with the echo sounder transceiver.
• use the second network card for data transfer between the server (your EK15
computer) and clients (peripheral computers in the network).
The two network cards are then connected to two different networks.
Specify network card for server functionality by selecting the appropriate IP address
from the list. The initial connection between a server and a client is created through on
a specific UDP port number on the server. When the connection is established data
communication is transferred to a new UDP port number which is automatically assigned
by the server. The default local port number for the initial connection can be changed if
you want to use a specific local port number, normally this is not necessary.
Parameters
1
Local IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the local Ethernet interface board.
In most cases, each Ethernet board has a unique IP address, even when an interface
board supports multiple sockets. If you have more than one interface board, you are
provided with a list of the available addresses.
2
Local port (UDP)
This port is important if you wish to receive information. It must match the port
number on the remote computer.
To find the port number on the remote computer, consult the documentation for the
software program to be used. If the data communication is set up to only transmit
information from the EK15, this parameter is not required.
