- Set the “Session Type” to “Remote”.
- Enter the “Device IP”, this is the static IP address for the device and is used to link the TCP/IP device to the correct session parameters for the device.
- “Device Serial #”, this allows you to enter the serial number for the device. Currently this is for informational purposes only.
Starting with version 7.47, the target line can specify a port to use for TCP devices. The default port (per the VC standard) is 33512, but if a different port is desired, that can be specified as an option following the workstation ID. Note, the port must be a value between 30000 and 40000, and of course must be a port not being used for anything else on the computer.
For example, to set up a session listening on port 33530, the target line would look like:
wrun32.exe -c omics.cfg -x -w -y omics6 -y xmlif.dll winomics T2 33530
This allows two (or more) sessions to be running at the same time, listening on different ports. For a lab with many TCP devices, this can result in faster overall response times, by having each session service fewer devices.
