Communications¶

Ports configuration allows to configure which communication ports (Commgr Ports in I/O Setup) will be used for communication.

MEX can be configured to route VCP messages for an external Veronte device with a known ID through a certain port.

Each port can be configured as either of the following options:

Forward: Any messages generated by this unit (i.e. Telemetry or response messages to certain commands) will be sent through these ports.
Route: Any messages received at any Commgr Port with the defined address will be re-sent through the defined port. It is possible to route several addresses through the same port, but is not possible to route the same address through several ports. Only the first configured port will be used. Routing also applies to messages generated by the unit for the defined address.

Note

The same port cannot be used as Forward and Route at the same time.

It is possible to define up to 4 routing setups, which can be switched using the Ports action in the Automations menu of the 1x PDI Builder software.

Routing 1 will always be selected by default when booting MEX.
