7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration
b) ResponseCharacter Response  A single character is transmitted to the serial port when there is a 
change in connection state: 
C = connected, D = disconnected, N = host unreachable.  
This option is overridden when the Active Start Modem Mode or 
Active Start Host List is in effect. Default setting is Nothing 
(quiet). 
This option is overridden when the Active Start Modem Mode or 
Active Start Host List is in effect. Default setting is Nothing 
(quiet). 
c) Active Startup No Active Startup  Does not attempt to initiate a connection under any 
circumstance. Default setting. 
With Any Character  Attempts to connect when any character is received from the 
serial port. 
With active Modem 
Control In  
Attempts to connect when the Modem Control In input changes 
from not asserted to asserted. 
With a Specific Start 
Character 
Attempts to connect when it receives a specific start character 
from the serial port. The default start character is carriage return. 
Manual Connection  Attempts to connect when directed by a command string 
received from the serial port. The first character of the command 
string must be a C (ASCII 0x43), and the last character must be 
either a carriage return (ASCII 0x0D) or a line feed (0x0A). No 
blanks or space characters may be in the command string. 
Between the first and last command string characters must be a 
full or partial destination IP address and may be a destination 
port number.  
The IP address must be in standard decimal-dot notation and 
may be a partial address, representing the least significant 1, 2, 
or 3 bytes of the remote IP address. The period is required 
between each pair of IP address numbers. 
If present, the port number must follow the IP address, must be 
presented as a decimal number in the range 1-65535, and must 
be preceded by a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The slash 
separates the IP address and the port number. If you omit the 
port number from a command string, the internally stored remote 
port number starts a connection.  
If a partial IP address is presented in a command string, it is 
interpreted to be the least significant bytes of the IP address and 
uses the internally stored remote IP address to provide the most 
significant bytes of the IP address. If the IP address entered is 
0.0.0.0/0, the device server enters Monitor Mode. 
For example, if the remote IP address already configured in the 
unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string would be 
C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may 
also use a different ending for the connection string. For 
example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port 23.
