Siemens SIREC D200 Manual page 85

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 SIREC D software to allow discovery of re-
corders in order to transfer data via FTP or Modbus.
The TCP and UDP port numbers have been specially selected for this type of network com-
munications. It is recommended that the TCP and UDP ports are not changed unless spe-
cifically requested by your IT network administrator. If this is changed on the recorder it must
also be changed on all other recorders, Trend Server and Comms Server.
If you experience and security issues using peers, see
page 200.
