What are the port settings and network requirements for Genea controllers?
Genea controllers require specific port settings and network configurations to ensure proper communication. This guide provides an overview of the necessary settings and requirements for different controller models, including firmware considerations and firewall configurations.
Overview of Genea Controller Communication
Genea controllers communicate with the Genea platform using specific host IPs and ports. Proper configuration of these settings is essential for seamless operation.
Port Settings for Different Controller Models
LP/EP Series Boards: Use port 31 for communication with the host IP
mercury-api.sequr.io.MP Series Boards: Use port 41 for communication with the host IP
mercury-api.sequr.io.MP1502 Controllers: These controllers can communicate on both ports 3001 and 4001.
Firmware Dependencies and Updates
The ability of MP1502 controllers to use ports 3001 and 4001 does not depend on the firmware version. Older firmware versions are also compatible with both ports.
Network and Firewall Requirements
To enable communication between Mercury controllers and Genea, ensure the following network configuration:
Open TCP port 3001 on the network firewall.
Conclusion
By following these port settings and network requirements, you can ensure that your Genea controllers are properly configured for reliable communication. If you encounter any issues, consult Genea support for further assistance.
