We have a number of MangoES units connecting back to a central Mango server and using the Persistent TCP module to transmit and sync data.
Some stations transmit realtime data and some just do a periodic sync, which is configured as per the publisher on each site. At the moment I have been configuring a separate listener (listening on a different TCP port) for each site.
Just doing a bit of a review of how this is set up and have the following questions:
-
Is it best practice to create a separate data source listener for each MangoES and if so, would each separate listener then need to listen on a different port?
-
Is is there any risk or reason not to have multiple stations sending data to the same listener?
Thanks!
