UDP Socket
Require: IP-Symcon >= 3.3
The UDP socket opens an interface which is often used for communication between the gateway/splitter instance and the connected device. It uses the UDP protocol.
Integration in IP-Symcon
A new UDP socket instance can be created via "+" in the object tree.
The following settings can be made on the configuration page.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Open Socket | Whether the socket should be open or closed. |
| Send-Host | Which IP address the data should be sent to. |
| Send-Port | On which port the data should be sent. |
| Receive-Host | On which TCP interface the data should be listened to. |
| Receive-Port | On which port the data should be listened to. |
| Activate Broadcast | When activated, the UDP socket sends to the broadcast address of the selected Receive-Host interface. The entered Send-Host address is irrelevant. |
| Activate Reuse Address | Allows other programs to listen to the Receive-Port when the "Reuse address" is also activated. |
Only a click on "Apply" saves the settings and then an attempt is made to establish the connection.
