Socket Error # 10061, Connection refused

The IP address is correct but the MiniPlex-3E refused the TCP connection. This happens when another
application has already opened a TCP connection or when the MiniPlex-3E was configured for UDP.
Could not bind socket. Address and port are already in use
Another application has already used port 10110 for UDP. Using UDP requires an application to bind to
a port number to receive all UDP traffic on that port number. A port number can only be bound to one
application at a time.
If you exit MPXConfig3, the connection settings will be saved and reloaded when MPXConfig3 is started
again. When you select a different port while being connected, MPXConfig3 closes the current connection.
You can also force MPXConfig3 to retrieve the configuration from the MiniPlex-3 with the Read
Configuration button (Figure 45).

Send NMEA

MPXConfig3 allows manual entry of arbitrary NMEA sentences for testing, configuration etc.
Type the desired NMEA sentence in the edit box and click on the Send button or press the Enter key on
your keyboard to transmit the sentence to the MiniPlex-3. MPXConfig3 will keep a history of entered
sentences/commands. These can be selected by clicking on the small arrow on the right side of the input
field. A selected sentence can be transmitted again by clicking on the Send button or pressing the Enter
key. It can also be edited prior to transmitting. The Clear button clears the history.
Preceding the NMEA sentence with a "$" is optional, MPXConfig3
will add it for you if omitted. The input is case sensitive, so
whatever you type will be transmitted to the MiniPlex-3 verbatim.
Since all standard NMEA sentences are uppercase, you must enter
them as uppercase.
Any sentence starting with
MiniPlex-3 as a configuration command and will be processed as
such. Any other sentence will be routed to any NMEA output which has its Host Data set to Yes or
Override. Routes specified in the routing table will be applied too. This allows specific configuration
sentences to be transmitted to connected devices.
This feature can also be used to test if an NMEA input or output is functional: Connect an NMEA output to
an input, set Host Data for that output to Yes and type an arbitrary text of at least 6 characters in the
Send NMEA field. This text should appear in the NMEA viewer when you click on the Send button or
press the enter key.

View Options

The NMEA Viewer area (Figure 46) offers a few controls that make observing NMEA data
easier.
The NMEA viewer itself stores up to 100 sentences which can be scrolled back
(disconnect first). These sentences can also be copied and pasted into another
application (Windows only).

Clear

This button clears the NMEA Viewer window.

No Scroll

When this option is enabled, a list of received NMEA sentences will be displayed, which
will refresh continuously when new sentences are received. This feature allows you to
closely examine the types of sentences received from the connected instruments. Any
proprietary NMEA sentences that are generated by the MiniPlex-3 are also listed. These
sentences start with

Tag Blocks

This option shows any TAG blocks that precede a sentence. TAG blocks are enabled when MPXConfig3 is
connected to the MiniPlex-3. MPXConfig3 uses these TAG blocks to identify the source of a sentence
(NMEA 0183 input or NMEA 2000 Source Address).
When a device connected to the inputs of the MiniPlex-3 transmits TAG blocks, they will also be visible.
