Send_String 0 - to sub masters

GSLogic

I'm working on a system over the internet in another state, that has one main master and 6 sub masters. I'd like to be able to see the sendstring 0 in the sub master without having to reset the router port to the sub masters IP address everytime.

Does anyone know a way to SEND_STRING 0 to sub masters that all in the main masters URL list?

Thanks!

Good question, of which I don?t have a good answer. I don?t know if what you want can be done directly but I can offer a work around that may or may not be more trouble than it?s worth.

What you can do is assign a different port for each master instead of using the default 1319. For example you can use 1319 for the main master, 1320 for remote master 1, 1321 for remote master 2, etc. Next you can configure the router to forward the correct port to each master. You would configure the router once and be done with it. Then you can use Netlinx Studio to connect to each master directly and observe the SEND_STRING 0s.

If the URL list is stored in the main master then you?ll have to modify the list to use the correct port number for each master in the list. If instead each of the remote masters has the main master?s URL in its list then you shouldn?t have to modify anything.

There may be an easier way to accomplish your goal but this should get the job done if it?s not too much of a pain for your situation.

That's a great work around, thanks for the idea!
