We have a DL260 based PLC running with an ECOM module (among others). We have already been able to talk to the ECOM using Modbus TCP/IP. I understand that I also can talk to the module through the internet (for using Directsoft 4, the idea is to be able to transfer programs or monitor the behaviour of the system from a nother country). Our system administrator asks me for the 'port ' Directsoft uses on the computer to talk to the ECOM module (as an example, port 22 is used by SSH). I also understand that I should use UDP/IP transport protocol over Winsock treansport to make it work. Comments? Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

The port is 7070 hex. There is a FAQ #0016 on HOST Engineering's website that shows how to go about connecting via the internet.
