6.6.26 What the communications parameters dialog on the local PC shows
This dialog is used to select a gateway server for the communication with a PLC.
Furtheron there can be set up new channels for a gateway server which is installed on
the local PC so that these channels can be used by other computers which are part of
the network.
The current settings can be called up at any time using the button Update.
The dialog will appear as follows if the communications parameters have already
been configured according to the example in 'Principle of a gateway system':
The Heading Channels lists two categories of connections:
• On the one hand all of the connections are shown which are installed on the
currently connected gateway server called 'localhost'. Here the address or the
name of this gateway is located on the upper position behind the minus sign,
which in our example is running on the local computer. The appropriate address
'localhost' corresponds in the normal case to the IP address 127.0.0.1 of the local
computer (PC_local). Below, indented to the right, are three addresses of run-time
computers which the gateway channels are set-up to (PC_PLC1 to 3). They could
have been configured both from the local PC or from the other PCs (PC_x) which
are or were connected to the gateway server.
