3.4 TECDIS NMEA and TCP/IP server
TECDIS NMEA and TRP/IP server allows distribution of selected comport data out through a
TCP/IP network. This way one sensor can be shared by multiple users in a TCP/IP network.
As shown above, “HDT sentence”, is received on comport 3 and is retransmitted on port 2003
through TCP/IP address 192.168.0.113. This means that backup ECDIS (or other connected
computers to the LAN network) can receive “HDT” data through TCP/IP by selecting correct IP
address (192.168.0.113 port 2003).
Setup procedure:
1. Select appropriate comport with desired data
2. Select appropriate baud rate on receiving comport, by using “Speed” dialog box
3. Select to which TCP/IP ”port” it shall retransmit data (from the selected comport), for
example 2003
4. Describe with text connected device to TCP/IP port ( backup station, conning PC etc.)
5. Select which NMEA sentences you which to send (you may select one, multiple or all on
one TDP/IP port)
”Data activity” shows activity on selected (monitored) comport. HDT is marked in blue due to
it is selected for output to TCP/IP.
”Clients” shows how many listeners (connections) there are on each connected TCP/IP port.
