TCP/IP PC Nodes
Every TCP/IP PC node must have assigned a unique UDP port. If the PC node is added using a client on B2 server then the first available UDP port is automatically filled in into the ‘Add PC node’ form. If the client is run remotely then the first available UDP port cannot be detected and it has to be checked and set by the user manually.

Timeslots…
The time slots are used when there are multiple S2 radio nets that may interfere with each other handled by S2 gateways in the same Boomerang system. Check chapter 20.1.5.1 for details.
Fill in the fields, click OK and sign.
Timeslots settings
If you want to use timeslots then select “Use timeslots” and select a unique timeslot for every S2 Gateway in the system.
The time slots are used when there are multiple S2 radio nets that may interfere with each other handled by S2 gateways in the same system.
The reading of a single sensor in optimum conditions in S2 network without linking takes 312ms. If the minimum reading period of 1 minute is used this limits the theoretical amount of sensors per net to 60/0.312 = 192 sensors. In typical installations longer reading periods are used which increases this number e.g. for 5 minutes reading period the number of sensors increases to 960.
If time slots are used then every radio net performs its radio communication during its own 20 s period every minute. There can be up to 3 radio nets and they use the first, the second and the third 20 seconds of every minute. If time slots are used and the reading period for all of them is 1 minute then the theoretical number of radio sensors per net is reduced by 3, to 64 sensors. For a longer reading period the maximum theoretical number of sensors in a radio network is higher. For a period of 5 minutes this theoretical number increases to 320 sensors.
