NJR-CTB Command Guide93.1.4 Limit on the number of TCP-IP connections and port overload managementThe NJR-CTB’s maintenance port supports a maximum of eight simultaneous connections (eight logicalports). To maintain optimal system accessibility, it is advisable to issue “port-open” and “port-close”commands before and after command or query strings are issured. This approach enables eight or morecontrol devices to be effectively interfaced simultaneously and without concern for communication errors. As asafeguard, the NJR-CTB incorporates a 30-second timeout window for each port. If any port is inactive formore than 30 seconds, it will be closed automatically.[Table 3.2] Increasing connectionsYour PC software NJR-CTBConnecting TCP-IP → (Occupying 1 port)Sending command (@xxx) →← Replying command (@xxx)Closing TCP-IP → (Releasing 1port)Note:If no command is sent from the PC side to the NJR-CTB for 30 seconds, the NJR-CTB automaticallydisconnects from that device.
