Step One

Fig. 3.4 - A TCP Port Configuration Suitable for an RTU

After you have set up the network, you will be able to assign a data

connection to your remote ports when defining them to poll your

remote devices via LAN.

Assigning a TCP port to a LAN job takes four steps:

1. Define the TCP Port in the Ethernet TCP Port Definition screen.

2. Define the port usage in the Remote Parameters screen.

3. Assign the remote port a TCP port data connection in the Data

Connection Assignment screen.

4. If necessary, provision the devices that will use the TCP data

connection.

For example, let’s say you want to configure a data connection for

KDAs to report to T/MonXM over LAN. (These instructions apply

equally well to the NetGuardian. For instructions on provisioning a

NetGuardian, see Section M1-25, LAN-Based Remotes.) You

would follow these steps:

Define the TCP port

1. Choose Master > Parameters > Remote Ports > F (Find) > 28.

Verify that Port 28 is assigned to Ethernet I/O.

2. Press F1 to open the Ethernet TCP Port Definition screen.

3. Select an unused entry and press Tab to select the default list

box for the Type field.

4. Highlight UDP and press Enter.

5. Type “2001” in the TCP Port field.

6. Type a description in the Description field.

7. Press F8 to save your changes.
