Configure a Local Marquee Port to Send Remote Messages

A local marquee port can send messages to a marquee port on a remote project:

  1. Activate the Marquee Ports icon from your local project’s Configuration Cabinet.

  2. Add a new marquee port. In the New Marquee Port dialog box, specify the following information:

Port

Enter the port name for this remote port.

You can enter a logical name such as REMPORT, since this will not be an actual physical port on your system.

Service ID

Enter a unique local service ID that will be used to control this port.

Remote Port

Select this checkbox to indicate that this local port will be sending messages to a remote port.

Remote Project

Enter the name of the remote CIMPLICITY project to which messages will be sent.

Remote Service ID

Enter the Service ID of the marquee resident process on the remote CIMPLICITY project to which messages will be sent.

Remote Device ID

Enter the configured device ID controlled by the Service ID on the remote CIMPLICITY project to which messages will be sent.

  1. Click OK to close this dialog box and save your changes. The Port Properties dialog box opens.

  2. Click OK on the Port Properties dialog box. Configuration of the remote port is now complete.

  3. Configure a marquee device to be associated with this port, and marquee messages to be routed to this device, just as if this port was on your local system.
