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.
Tip
The settings in the dialog box are only provided to define the actual communication
parameters. You can not select which inputs or outputs to use. However, you must set up
these communication parameters before you select input or output datagrams.
All navigation and motion sensors are connected using the
must also decide which datagram formats that will be accepted. The
page is located in the
on the menu.

Name
This is a text box. Type a suitable name for the communication port. If you do not
have a computer keyboard connected to your Processor Unit, select the
button to open an on-screen keyboard.
Local IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Ethernet interface adapter located in
your Processor Unit. In most cases, each Ethernet adapter has a unique IP address,
even when it supports multiple sockets. If you have more than one Ethernet
adapter, you are provided with a list of the available addresses.
Local Port
This port is important if you want to receive information on the Processor Unit. The
number you define here must match the port number on the peripheral device that
is providing the information. This peripheral device is for example a sensor on the
network, or another navigation or hydroacoustic system. To find the port number,
consult the documentation for the device, and/or the application to be used on it.
