Configuration Guide (AADvance Controller)
Set up the Peer IP Addresses and Status Variable
1) Select the Peer List tab.
2) Enter the IP Address for each peer.

You must ensure that when you enter an IP Address the row number you
select from the Peer column must correspond to the peer identity number;
e.g. for Network 4 (peer 1) enter the IP Address in row 1 of the peer
column.

To configure a Multicast IP Address, enter the following IP Addresses:
Port 1: 224.1.2.3
Port 2: 224.4.5.6
3) Select a boolean input Variable for the same Peer number.

This variable reports the peer status and is TRUE when the peer is active and
working and is FALSE when the peer is inactive or faulty. Except for multicast
peers which are always set FALSE even when the multicast peer is active of
inactive.
Peer to Peer Data Boards
You can configure two types of input and output boards - Analogue or Digital - and
they can be large or small versions. Select the type you require to ensure the optimum
communication packet size can be used for your application. Each input board has a
corresponding output board that must be of the same type and channel capacity.
Each output board delivers data to one or more input boards across one peer
network. The subnet of the peer network used to send the data is transparent to the
input and output boards and more than one subnet can be defined to provide
redundant communications.
