MGCplus A0534-30.0 HBM: public 279
10.4.1 Port usage
Certain Ethernet ports must be shared for communication between PC and
CP.
The following TCP ports must be shared for CP52:
- Port 7 for communication with the device
- Port 80 for the web server and firmware updates
The following UDP ports must also be shared to be able to find CP52 with
the HBM Device Manager or change interface settings:
- Port 31,416 to find CP52
- Port 31,417 to change interface settings using the HBM Device
Manager
The following TCP ports must be shared for CP22/42:
- Port 7 for communication with the device
- Port 80 for the web server (CP42 only)
10.4.2 Communication processor and multi-client mode
When a communication processor is delivered from the factory, it is only
possible to connect one PC to the MGCplus system. If you want to connect
several PCs to the MGCplus system the "Multi-client" option must be
activated. This is done with the "MGCplus Assistant" software, in the CP
Options dialog box. All interfaces support the multi-client capability of the
communication processor. The multi-client option also supports Ethernet
access via routers.
In total, up to 5 external clients can access the MGCplus. Only one client
can be linked to each interface. It is only possible to connect several clients
simultaneously via Ethernet (using an Ethernet switch with patch cables, for
example).
In addition to the external clients, there are also other internal clients (for
example ML70B, ML71B, and ML78), which are always active, regardless of
whether the multi-client option has been activated. So it is always possible
to record measurement data on a PC card and acquire data on a PC in
parallel.
