4.0 Configuration
IP Protocol Config (Continued…)
TCP Client/Server: In this mode, the pMDDL5824 will be a combined TCP Client and Server, meaning
that it can both initiate and serve TCP connection (session) requests. Refer to the TCP Client and TCP
Server descriptions and settings described previously as all information, combined, is applicable to this
mode.
UDP Point-to-Point: In this configuration the pMDDL5824 will send serial data to a specifically-defined
point, using UDP packets. This same pMDDL5824 will accept UDP packets from that same point.
• Remote IP Address
IP address of distant device to which UDP packets are sent when data received at serial port.
Default: 0.0.0.0
• Remote Port
UDP port of distant device mentioned above.
Default: 20001
• Listening Port
UDP port which the IP Series listens to (monitors). UDP packets received on this port are
forwarded to the unit’s serial port.
Default: 20001
• UDP Timeout(s)
UDP Timeout in seconds.
Default: 10
UDP Point-to-Multipoint (P): This mode is configured on an Nano IP Series which is to send multicast
UDP packets; typically, the MASTER in the Nano IP Series network.
• Multicast IP Address
A valid multicast address this unit uses to send multicast UDP packets upon receiving data
from the serial port. The default value is a good example of a valid multicast address.
Default: 224.1.1.2
• Multicast Port
A UDP port that this Nano IP will send UDP packets to. The Multipoint (MP - see the UDP
Point-to-Multipoint (MP) description) stations should be configured to listen to this point in
order to receive multicast packets from this Nano IP Series.
Default: 20002
• Listening Port
The UDP port that this unit receives incoming data on from multiple remote units.
Default: 20012
• Time to Live
Time to live for the multicast packets.
Default: 1 (hop)
• Multicast Interface
Specify the interface on which to send/listen for multicast packets.
Default: LAN
UDP Point-to-Multipoint (MP): This protocol is selected on the units which are to receive multicast UDP
packets, typically the Remote units. See the previous description of UDP Point-to-Multipoint (P).
• Remote IP Address
The IP address of a distant device (IP Series or, for example, a PC) to which the unit
sends UDP packets of data received on the serial port. Most often this is the IP address
of the Master IP Series.
Default: 0.0.0.0
A UDP or TCP port is an
application end-point. The IP
address identifies the device
and, as an extension of the IP
address, the port essentially
‘fine tunes’ where the data is
to go ‘within the device’.
Be careful to select a port
number that is not
predetermined to be
associated with another
application type, e.g. HTTP
uses port 80.
