Host Port Status Screen

Field/Button

Description

Status

Indicates the current status of the host processor. Valid status

 

indications are color-coded and described below. Refer to the

 

following table for the meaning of the most common failure codes.

 

Active — on demand connection

 

Active SSL — on demand connection with SSL

 

Connect — permanent connection

 

Connect SSL — permanent connection with SSL

 

Enabled — an idle on demand connection

 

Failed — see error codes listed below

 

Inactive — an idle permanent connection or an on demand

 

connection that isn’t configured.

 

 

Interface

Indicates the interface (Ethernet or PPP) that can be used to reach

 

the host processor. If the host processor cannot be reached at all,

 

“Unknown” is displayed here. When the host address is specified as a

 

DNS name instead of an IP address, the initial interface appears as

 

“Unknown”. Once a transaction has been routed to that host and the

 

DNS server successfully resolves the host name, the interface type is

 

then correctly shown as “Ethernet” or “PPP”.

 

 

Error Codes

Code

Description

Explanation

100

DNS error

The associated host name cannot be found by the

 

 

Domain Name Server (DNS). This is because the

 

 

DNS is not responding or it cannot find the name.

110

Socket creation error

Internal socket creation error. Please refer to the

 

 

Event Log for the specific failure.

 

 

 

120

General connection error

The session cannot be connected to the host.

 

 

Please refer to the Event Log for the specific

 

 

reason.

121

Connection refused

The session cannot be connected to the host

 

 

because the host refused the connection. This

 

 

generally means that the host application is not

 

 

running or is not configured to use the TCP port.

122

Connection timed out

The session cannot be connected to the host

 

 

because the host did not respond. This generally

 

 

means that the IP address for the host is wrong or

 

 

the network is preventing the IN-tact1101 from

 

 

contacting the host.

 

 

 

130

General SSL error

The session failed because of an SSL error. Please

 

 

refer to the Event Log for the specific reason.

 

 

 

131

SSL certificate validation failed

The session failed because the SSL certificate from

 

 

the host could not be verified.

132

not complete within the required timeframe.
