Description
The ME70 will function as a client receiving data from the Beamformer application using the local area network.
Local IP Address field shows the address used for communication between ME70 and the Beamformer application. If you have more than one network adapter, you can select which one to use for client operations from the list of IP addresses.
The Remote Port is the port number on the server (the ME70 Processor Unit that controls the transceiver) that is used to establish the initial connection. This number must be the same as the Local Port defined on the As Server page on the remote system that you want to connect to.
Details
Local IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Ethernet interface adapter located in your computer. In most cases, each Ethernet adapter has a unique IP address, even when it supports multiple sockets. If you have more than one Ethernet adapter, you are provided with a list of the available addresses.
Remote IP Address
The Remote IP Address is the Internet Protocol (IP) address for a peripheral device. This peripheral device is your sensor on the local area network (LAN). If the data communication between your Processor Unit and the peripheral device is set up to only import data from the device, the remote IP address is not required.
If you want to export information from the Processor Unit to one or more peripheral devices (Broadcast mode), set Remote IP Address to 255.255.255.255. This is the default setting. If you want to use point-to-point communication in a closed network, set the remote IP address manually.
Remote Port
The Remote Port is important if you want to export information from the Processor Unit to a peripheral device on the local area network (LAN). This peripheral device is another computer on a local area network (LAN). The application on the peripheral device will "listen" to this port number.
Communication Mode
You can select Broadcast or Point-to-point.
Broadcast mode enables data to be sent from the ME70 to any number of peripheral devices. Data is only transmitted to these devices. Point-to-point mode implies that the ME70 Processor Unit is physically connected only to one single remote device. A complete two-way communication system is then established.
This peripheral device is another computer on a local area network (LAN).
