6.8 How to Configure P2P Functions
Select the IP address of an ADAM-6000 module from the Module Tree Display Area
and click the Peer to Peer/Event tab. The screen will appear as shown in Figure
6.17.

By default, the P2P function is disabled. You can enable it by selecting Basic or
Advanced in the Mode panel and then clicking Apply. ADAM-6000 modules support
both P2P and GCL functionality (see Chapter 8 for information on GCL); however,
only one of them can be enabled at one time. If GCL is already enabled and you
choose to enable P2P, an alert will appear asking you to first disable GCL (see Sec-
tion 8.2 for how to disable GCL). After GCL has been disabled, you can then select
Basic or Advanced to enable P2P.
Note! There is invariably some level of uncertainty in network communication.
Sometimes, there may be packet loss when an event occurs. This is
why we provide the period time + COS function (no COS function
alone). When an event occurs, even if a packet is lost, the data will be
sent again at the next period. This improves system reliability.
