choose UDP ports

[Didier B]

I assume you're behind your own firewall and besides SignalK, there won't be much going on network-wise, so the port numbers are probably fine.

That said, I'm not positive they are needed, as TCP is bi-directional, so in theory, OpenCPN could output on TCP port 10110 back to signalk and you'd just need to use the nmea-to-nmea plugin to route the events... in theory. Don't quote me, as I'm not 100% on this. On the otherhand, what you have is working, and I'm a big supporter of the "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it" axiom, so roll with it until something stops working!!!

I agree with you ! A few decade ago, I noted this golden advice in a marine motor workshop of St Peter Harbour : If it works ... don't fix it !
then it never went out of my mind !

This being said, I would like to know, and what I can do is :

1. First a backup ! check my existing backup copy is 100% valid ;
   
2. figure out if chnanging the UDP ports to 10110 could work ;
   
3. and if yes give it a try !
   

I'll be back ...
