Dial-Up Troubleshooting

Parameters Form

Use this tab to select the modems that will be used for dial-up micros.

Installed Modems: Displays all modems currently installed on the PC. To designate a modem for use with a dial-up micro, enable it by clicking in the box to the left of the modem name so that a check displays. If you have a modem installed for support use, DO NOT SELECT THAT MODEM.

Disconnect After Idle: Select the number of minutes you want the system to wait before disconnecting from the micro when the connection is idle (there is no history or database information being exchanged). If you select 0, the connection will remain active indefinitely and the host will never drop communication with the micros.

Network Port Range:

•If you communicate with your micros over a local intranet, this does not apply. Ignore these remarks.

•If you must cross a firewall to communicate with your micros, you will need to read the following:

Low end:/High end: You will be required to open up a range of ports sufficient to support the number of micros with which you must communicate outside a firewall. The first ten port addresses are reserved for client-to-client communication. Anything beyond the first ten port addresses can be used for micro communication.

Example Addresses:
Default Low end:	6700
Default High end:	6709

(These are the 10 internal port addresses reserved for client-to-client communication.)

Change High end: to:	6710	= Assign address to 1 micro outside the firewall.
	6711	= Assign addresses to 2 micros outside the firewall.
	6712	= Assign addresses to 3 micros outside the firewall.
