GESRTP_PORT connection

The server-specific configuration portion of the GESRTP Communication Driver hierarchy tree under the OI Server Manager starts at the GESRTP_PORT object. This object represents a port number for the installed Communication Driver system and is used by the GESRTP Communication Driver to communicate with PLCs lower in the hierarchy tree.

You can only create a single GESRTP_Port object under the Configuration node in the console tree.

Add a GESRTP_PORT connection to your GESRTP hierarchy

1. In the console tree, right-click Configuration and then click Add GESRTP_PORT Connection. The New_GESRTP_PORT_000 object appears.

   

   Edit the object name to appropriately describe components of your specific hardware environment. If you do not rename the object at this time, a numeric sequencing system is applied. You can rename the hierarchy entry later.

2. Rename this object as needed.

3. In the Port Number box verify the port number. The port number is always 18245.

   Important: If you subsequently clear your configuration hierarchy, you must create this GESRTP_PORT object by right-clicking Configuration and then clicking Add GESRTP_PORT Connection. An object called New_GESRTP_PORT_000 is created. Rename as appropriate. From this point, all of the following instructions apply.
