2.4.10 EGD Exchange Command List Example
The following is an example section from the [EGD Exchanges] section:
2.5 [EGD Multicast Group List]
This section contains the list of multicast group addresses the EGD server should
process (consumer messages for this server produced on other units). This list
may contain up to 16 IP addresses. The reserved group addresses for the EGD
protocol are 224.0.7.1 to 224.0.7.32. The module will support other group
addresses than this data set.
Important: Use Multicast whenever the module produces data to at least two other modules. Using
Unicast for these applications can cause data transmission delay when at least one of the
consumer modules is powered down.
2.6 Ethernet Configuration
Use this procedure to configure the Ethernet settings for your module. You must
assign an IP address, subnet mask and gateway address. After you complete
this step, you can connect to the module with an Ethernet cable.
