Listener

The listener runs on a separate thread. Once enabled, the listener (either Eclipse or Rational Rose RealTime) starts to listen on a specified port. For Eclipse, the port is specified on the Communication tab in the Preferences dialog box, and for Rational Rose RealTime, the port is specified on the Eclipse Integration Settings dialog. When a connection is made to the listener, that thread services the established connection. Therefore, there can be only one (or no) entity connected to a listener. If an established connection becomes disabled, the listener reverts to its listening state.
