RippleDown can be interfaced to multiple online information systems simultaneously. To add an additional interface:

  1. Stop the server.
  2. If you are using sockets or HL7, edit the file CommunicatorSettings.txt in the installation directory to define the following settings:
  •  The additional port on which the RippleDown server is listening for connections (the CommunicatorPort setting),
  • The additional IP address and port to which the RippleDown server will send the corresponding response messages (the  LisAddress and Lis Port settings)
  1. Restart the server.
  2. Check that the server log file does not show any errors.

An example of the settings needed to configure two online information systems is shown below.
