Auto Configuration
Auto Configuration is a process by which Doors.NET polls the network seeking NXT or
PXL series controllers and the devices connected to those controllers. It then inserts all
collected information into the hardware portion of the program database for assignment
by the installer/user.
NOTE: The DoorsNXTProxy.exe service must be allowed to communicate through any
firewall installed on the computer running the NXT Gateway service. The Door-
sNXTProxy Service is added to the list of exceptions in the Windows Firewall during
installation, however if another firewall is being used, it may prevent auto configuration
from finding the controllers on the Local LAN. The table below lists the Port Numbers
used for Doors.NET communication. These Port Numbers must be allowed to pass
through a firewall.
UDP TCP
11434 10020
11435 10030

NOTE: The Greater I/O Board (GIOX) can only be configured through Auto Con-
figuration. This is due to the mix-and-match nature of the input and output boards for this
product.
