7: Setup Mode: Channel Configuration

 

 

 

 

 

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.

the remote IP address and remote port specified when the

 

 

 

 

 

firmware starts.

 

 

 

 

Hostlist

 

 

If you enable this option, the device server scrolls through

 

 

 

 

 

the hostlist until it connects to a device listed in the hostlist

 

 

 

 

 

table. Once it connects, the unit stops trying to connect to

 

 

 

 

 

any others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to

 

 

 

 

 

scroll through the table until it is able to connect to another

 

 

 

 

 

IP in the hostlist. Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a

 

 

 

 

 

maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains the IP address

 

 

 

 

 

and the port number.

 

 

 

 

 

The hostlist is disabled for Manual and Modem Modes. The

 

 

 

 

 

unit does not accept a data connection from a remote

 

 

 

 

 

device when the hostlist option is enabled.
