Remote Port
The
Remote Port
Processor Unit to a peripheral device on the local area network (LAN). The
application on the peripheral device will "listen" to this port number.
If you want to establish point-to-point communication for data import from a
peripheral device on the network, you may need to define the network port
on this device.
To find the port number, consult the documentation for the device, and/or the
application to be used on it. In most cases, this peripheral device is another
computer on a local area network.
•
Protocol
This is the current protocol specified for the port. Each port can receive multiple
datagrams simultaneously, provided that they all use the same protocol.
•
Input
This column identifies the external sensor (any type of "measuring device") that
is currently connected to the port. To choose what type of device to import
data from, select
Add
Select this button to add a new port. This is required if you have added new
hardware to the Processor Unit, for example by installing an extra interface adapter.
If you have previously released an unused port, but want to bring it back to ES80
use, you must also select this button.
If you try to add a serial port, the button will be disabled if your Processor Unit has
no more serial ports. If one or more serial ports are available, you can select a port
in the dialog box that opens.
Remove
Select this button to delete a port.
Once the ES80 has identified and listed all the available serial ports and LAN ports
on the Processor Unit, they cannot be used by any other software. If the ES80 does
not need a specific port, it can be released for other use. Click the applicable port
to select it, then select
Note
No acknowledgement is required; the port is removed instantly.
Setup
In order to use a serial port or LAN (Ethernet) port to receive or transmit
information, its communication parameters must be set up to match the peripheral
device. Select one of the listed ports and then
parameters. A dedicated dialog box opens for you to change or accept the settings.
