ROSS ACU Configuration
For the Sea Tel ACU, the configuration options are port type, IP address, and port number. At
this time, the port type is “tcp” and the default port is 2000. For example, using the ACU
Configuration value of “
tcp 192.168.150.45 2000 ” configures ROSS to communicate with
the Sea Tel ACU using a TCP connection to port 2000 (decimal) on an ACU at IP address
192.168.150.45.
Optionally, after the TCP connection port number a message timeout value and message
validation is configurable. The timeout values are in milliseconds, e.g. 5000, 5 seconds. The
internal default timeout is 2 seconds and if determined necessary because of bad (unresolved)
LAN communications, this additional wait time may help. If problems like this persist, correct
hardware issues.
Message validation is by default whereby all command message sent to the ACU are queried and
compared. If any of the sent commands return as mismatched the ROSS process will attempt up
to three retries, if all attempts fail ROSS will report a service handoff failure. If validations are
failing because of known mismatch incompatibilities, this check can be disabled by appending
the ACU Configuration with pipe ( | ) character followed by “novalidate”.
