Adding/Editing a Multihost Entry
When you click the Add or Edit button, the Host Entry window appears. The hosts in the multihost
list must already be defined (see Host Table on page 88 to learn how to create a host). If you add a
host that was defined with its fully qualified domain name (FQDN), it must be resolvable by your
configured DNS server.
Configure the following parame ters:
TCP Port Specify the TCP port that the I/O channel or serial signal pin will use to
communicate to the Primary Host.
Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel
Backup Host Specify a preconfigured host that the I/O channel or serial signal pin will
communicate to if the I/O channel cannot communicate with the Primary Host.
Default: None
TCP Port Specify the TCP port that the channel or serial signal pin will use to
communicate to the Backup Host.
Default: 0
Host Name Specify the preconfigured host that will be in the multihost list.
Default: None
TCP Port Specify the TCP port that the I/O channel or serial signal pin will use to
communicate to the Host.
Default: 0
