| 5: Changing the UBox's Settings | |
|
|
|
|
| Subnet Mask | A subnet mask defines the number of bits taken from the | |
|
| IP address that are assigned for the host part. Enter the | |
|
| subnet mask as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. | |
|
| Example: 255.255.255.0 | |
|
|
|
|
| Gateway | The gateway address, or router, allows communication to | |
|
| other LAN segments. The gateway address should be the | |
|
| IP address of the router connected to the same LAN | |
|
| segment as the unit. The gateway address must be within | |
|
| the local network. Enter the gateway as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. | |
|
| Example: 192.168.20.100. | |
|
| Note: If there is no gateway on the network, use the same | |
|
| IP address as the UBox or the IP address of your PC. | |
|
|
|
|
| UDP Port and | These fields allow you to specify which port numbers on | |
| TCP Port | which the UBox communicates. This communication | |
|
| happens between the UBox hardware and software. By | |
|
| default, these ports are set to 10010. | |
|
| UDP Port: Change this setting to change the UDP port | |
|
| number on which the UBox broadcasts. Other computers | |
|
| configured to use this UDP port number will be able to see | |
|
| this UBox. This setting is useful if you wish to limit the | |
|
| number of people connecting to a particular UBox or if you | |
|
| want to hide a UBox from other users on your network. | |
|
| If you change the UBox's UDP port number, you must tell | |
|
| the UBox software to “listen” to the new port. To do this, | |
|
| change the local UDP port number. (See Updating Server | |
|
| Access Settings on page 46.) | |
|
| TCP Port: Change this setting to change the TCP port | |
|
| that the UBox uses to transmit and receive USB data. | |
|
| If you change the UBox's TCP port number, you must tell | |
|
| the UBox software to “listen” to the new port. To do this, | |
|
| change the local TCP port number. (See Updating Server | |
|
| Access Settings on page 46.) | |
|
| Note: Most users will not need to change the UBox's UDP | |
|
| and TCP ports. However, certain firewalls may block traffic | |
|
| to the default UDP and TCP ports. In these instances, you | |
|
| can either change the port numbers or configure your | |
|
| firewall to allow connections using UBox's configured UDP | |
|
| and TCP ports. | |
