Description
Ethernet (Local Area Network (LAN))
communication is an efficient way to connect
to external sensors, such as a global positioning
system (GPS) to receive navigational data.
In order for this communication port to work,
the parameters must be set up properly.
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.
3
Remote IP Address
Select the Internet Protocol (IP) address for the remote computer.
If the data communication is set up to receive data only, this parameter is
not required. If you wish to set up an output for broadcast, define IP address
255.255.255.255
If you use point-to-point communication in a closed network, you need to enter
the remote IP address manually.
4
Remote port (UDP)
Specify the local network port. The EK15 uses this network port to transmit
information. The application on the remote computer will "listen" to this port
number.

IP addressing and UDP port principles
The Ethernet traffic between the EK15 and external devices, such as sensors or peripheral
systems, is made using Internet Protocol (IP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) ports.
351718/C
. This is the default setting.
