The diagram below shows a typical configuration:
A typical equipment configuration
The winch operating software uses the UDP protocol to receive information/messages from third party
software and an echo sounder. To facilitate this, two ports are opened by the winch, bound to the
broadcast address (x.x.x.255) :-
Port 8090 - receives data from Valeport Connect/Valeport Ocean or C-MAX’s Vigo Depth Relay
software.
Port 8091 - receives depth messages from a network connected echo sounder or navigation
system.
Valid depth messages are: $DBT, $DBK, $DBS, & $DPT. There is no requirement to specify
which message to use; depth information will be extracted from any messages as they are received.
With these ports being bound to the broadcast address, there is no requirement to specify the IP
address of the winch either in Valeport Connect/Ocean, C-MAX’s Vigo Depth Relay or in the echo
sounder/navigation system configuration.
If the echo sounder/navigation system configuration requires a destination IP address to be specified,
then enter the broadcast address for your network, x.x.x.255.
