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.
