5.4.5.1 Add communication instance
Establish local communication as described in section 5.3, Establishing Initial Local Communication.
On the navigation tree, select the station name (top node on the tree, default name TOTALFLOW).
Click the Application and Licensing tab.
Click Add App. The Add New Application dialog box displays.
In the Applications to add drop down list, select Communications.
Click OK.
Verify that Communications show in the application list.
Click Send.
Verify that the communication application displays in the navigation tree. The communication application instance
displays a generic name and it displays at the bottom of the communication applications. Configure the protocol,
change the name and configure the TCP port next.
5.4.5.2 Configure the new communication instance
On the navigation tree, select the new communication instance. The Setup tab displays.
Select the Protocol value field and select Totalflow/TCP from the drop down list.
Click Send.
On the navigation tree, verify that the communication instance name changes to Totalflow/TCP.
Select the instance, the lower Totalflow/TCP. The Setup tab displays.
In the Port Name value field, type a name to uniquely identify the port or communication instance. For example to
identify the TPC port, use TCP 9998. The port will not be confused with the default Totalflow/TCP.
In the Port value field, type the TCP port number. For example 9998.
Click Send.
At the warning, click Yes to confirm and save changes.
Click Re-read to verify that the user-defined name of the communication instance displays on the navigation tree (in
this example the instance displays as TCP 9998). Make sure the configuration on the setup tab is correct.
5.4.6 Establish a network connection over Ethernet (using non-default TCP port)
This procedure assumes that the host (PC or laptop) has a valid IP configuration, is connected to the corporate network, and the
connection is established remotely.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If establishing this connection on site (able to connect both the XFC and the PC to a local
Ethernet switch), make sure that the laptop has a compatible IP configuration. Both, the IP address of the PC and
the XFC must be on the same IP subnet for communication to work.
For additional details on the IP addressing setup for the PC or laptop, click Help from the Network screen.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the XFC is connected to a router or cell modem at the site, enable port forwarding on the
router/cell modem. Ensure that the TCP port number configured in the XFC is also configured in the router. The
connection will be established through the router/modem. Contact technical support for more details.
To establish a network connection:
Make sure the XFC is connected to the network equipment (switch).
Start PCCU.
Click Setup from the toolbar. The Setup screen for communication displays.
