NOTE: There should be no active connections while configuring the Host Module. The unit should be reset upon completion of configuration.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask is a bit mask that identifies the network portion of the IP address, allowing the Host Module to determine whether to send a packet directly to the client or to a gateway. The Subnet Mask consists of four bytes, each byte ranging from 0 to 255. This parameter must be programmed before the
Enter the Subnet Mask (Example: 255.255.255.0), followed by <cr>. The Host Module resumes the configuration menu. Default Subnet Mask is 0.0.0.0. If you fail to enter the Subnet Mask in dotted decimal form, the Host Module responds again:
Enter Subnet Mask in dotted decimal form :
The Host Module responds indefinitely with the same request until the Subnet Mask is entered in the correct form.
Gateway
The Gateway is the address of a router for connection to their networks. The Gateway address consists of four bytes, each byte ranging from 0 to 255. If your network uses gateways, this parameter must be programmed before the Host Module can be accessed through a network. Enter the Gateway address (Example: 200.4.5.50), followed by <cr>. Default Gateway address is 0.0.0.0. If you fail to enter the Gateway address in dotted decimal form, the Host Module responds again:
Enter Gateway address in dotted decimal form :
The Host Module responds indefinitely with the same request until the Gateway address is entered in the correct form.
Inactivity Timeout
When this option is enabled, the Host Module will automatically disconnect, if there is no activity, after the programmed amount of time. Default is 0 (disabled). The enabling input can be from 1 to 120 minutes.
Connection Inactivity Timeout is 0 minutes
