Peers
The Peer services communication function sets up the recorder so it can be recognised on
a network containing other X Series recorders. This means that multiple recorders will be
able to discover other recorders on the same local network in order to share data between
them. For example basic unit information such as firmware version, recorder name and net-
work identity. This will be used mainly with the Trend Server software to allow discovery
of recorders in order to transfer data via FTP or Modbus.
• Enabled - tick to enable
• Set Number – Default to set 1, this should not have to be changed unless a lot of
recorders are being used on the same network.
• Start Port - Default port number 8955
• End Port- Default port number 8970
The port numbers have been specially selected for this type of network communications. It
is recommended that the ports are not changed unless specifically requested by your IT net-
work administrator. If this is changed on the recorder it must also be changed on all other
recorders, TrendServer and Comms Server.
If you experience and security issues using peers, see “Internet Security Settings” on
page 234.
