3. To create a new connection, click on Add on the "Connection" tab.

ETCN004

4. Specify a name for the connection.

To enable an application to communicate with a control system via the
ETC−MMI Gateway, each connection must be assigned an unambiguous
name. You can choose any name. Assign e.g. consistent names "ETC0",
"ETC1" ... or application−specific names "ramp", "laser control" etc. A
name can contain up to 31 ASCII characters ("A ... Z", "a ... z" , "0 ... 9").

5. Select a connection type:

ƒ UDP connection for ETCHx control systems

Ethernet communication via DPR/UDP/IP protocol.

ƒ PCI connection for ETCPx control systems

DPR communication via a WDM driver (ETCPC.sys, in the scope of supply
of the ETCPC).

6. Enter a communication parameter in the "IP address" field:

ƒ ETCHC = IP address (

28)

ƒ ETCPC = Index of the PCI cards (indexes of the PCI cards are in the range

0 ... 9 and are automatically assigned by the driver. The first ETCPx has
the index 0).

7. Close the dialogue via OK.

Your entries are saved in the file "mmigtway.ini" (

283). If a connection

with the same parameters already exists, the error "Gateway cannot
change the parameter" is reported.
