Add and configure additional communication instances for Ethernet
The default Ethernet port configuration supports connections on TCP port 9999. This port value is read-only. To support
connections using another TCP port, add a new communication instance for Ethernet and configure the desired port number.
Add communication instance
Establish local communication as described in section 3.3, Establishing initial local communication.
On the navigation tree, select the station name (top node on the tree, default name TOTALFLOW).
Click the Application and Licensing tab.
Click Add App. The Add New Application dialog box displays.
In the Applications to add drop down list, select Communications.
Click OK.
Verify that Communications show in the application list.
Click Send.
Verify that that the communication application displays in the navigation tree. The communication application instance
displays a generic name and it displays at the bottom of the communication applications. Configure the protocol, change
the name and configure the TCP port next.
Configure the new communication instance
On the navigation tree, select the new communication instance. The Setup tab displays.
Select the Protocol value field and select Totalflow/TCP from the drop down list.
Click Send.
On the navigation tree verify that the communication instance name changes to Totalflow/TCP.
Select the instance, the lower Totalflow/TCP. The Setup tab displays.
In the Port Name value field, type a name to uniquely identify the port or communication instance. For example to identify
the TPC port, use TCP 9998. The port will not be confused with the default Totalflow/TCP
Click Send.
At the warning, click Yes to confirm and save changes
Click Re-read to verify that the user-defined name of the communication instance displays on the navigation tree (in this
example the instance displays as TCP 9998). Make sure the configuration on the setup tab is correct.
Establish a network connection over Ethernet (using non-default TCP port)
This procedure assumes that the host (PC or laptop) has a valid IP configuration, is connected to the corporate network, and the
connection is established remotely.
NOTE: If establishing this connection on site (able to connect both the XRC and the PC to a local Ethernet
switch), make sure that the laptop has a compatible IP configuration. Both, the IP address of the PC and the XR
must be on the same IP subnet for communication to work.
For additional details on the IP addressing setup for the PC or laptop, click Help from the Network screen.
NOTE: If the XRC is connected to a router or cell modem at the site, enable port forwarding on the router/cell
modem. Ensure that the TCP port number configured in the XRC is also configured in the router. The connection
will be established through the router/modem. Contact technical support for more details.
To establish a network connection:
Make sure the XRC is connected to the network equipment (switch).
