HelvarNet Routing Entries

Routing entries of the following type allow generic data transmission over Ethernet:

• ETHERNET TRANSMIT triggered by a group / block / scene Collection of lighting levels for each channel assigned to the same group as the scene. recall: This causes transmission of a generic string, from a single router In the sense of a lighting system, a router is an intelligent device whose software and hardware perform the tasks of routing and forwarding messages (data) from control devices to the control gear. A router contains two or more subnets..

When the entry is triggered, a connection to the third party device A physical item with which you can interact, either directly or via Designer. is instigated from the router. The IP address Internet Protocol (IP) is a four-byte address that uniquely identifies the device to which it is assigned on the network. This address conforms to IPv4 standard. Each router broadcasts packets of information via IP. A router acts only upon instructions sent to its unique IP address. and port to which the connection to the third-party device is made is determined from the routing entry’s configuration:

• To send TCP Stands for Transmission Data Protocol. TCP is one of the core protocols of the Internet Protocol Suite. It was one of the two original components, with Internet Protocol (IP), of the suite, so that the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. Whereas IP handles lower-level transmissions from computer to computer as a message makes its way across the Internet, TCP operates at a higher level, concerned only with the two end systems, for example, a Web browser and a Web server. In particular, TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from a program on one computer to another program on another computer. (See also TCP/IP). messages from the router to the third-party device, the router connects to a listener port provided in the third-party device. It is recommended that this listener port is in the range of 49152 to 65535.

• To send UDP User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite, the set of network protocols used for the Internet. With UDP, computer applications can send messages, in this case referred to as datagrams, to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network without requiring prior communications to set up special transmission channels or data paths. messages from the router to the third-party device, it is recommended that the destination port in the third-party device is in the range of 49152 to 65535.

• Additionally, the IP address of the router that is responsible for the transmission of the generic string also needs to be configured.
