Bidirectional communication without Relay
Table 2-5 provides an exhaustive list of communication ports required to allow
the RC Controller to communicate with the RC Target located in another network
zone using a bidirectional communication type between the RC Proxies. The
comments following the table refer to the numbered notes inside the table.
Table 2-5 RC ports for bidirectional communication
Note: A Relay could, at the same time, be an initiator and a listener, as it is a
Child towards the RC Target Proxy and a Parent towards the RC Controller
Proxy in our scenario. The information provided in the Table 2-3 on page 65
and Table 2-4 on page 67 can help you to understand all scenarios.
If the Relay is a Child listener and a Parent listener, get the Child listener
communication ports in Table 2-3 on page 65 and the Parent listener ports in
Table 2-4 on page 67. Conversely, if the Relay is a Child initiator and a Parent
initiator, get the Child initiator communication ports in Table 2-4 on page 67
and the Parent initiator communication ports in Table 2-3 on page 65.
