4: Using Setup Mode for Configuration

 

 

Response

 

 

 

Character 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).

 

 

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 DTR Active

Attempts to connect when the DTR input changes from not

 

 

 

asserted to asserted.

 

 

With a Specific Start

Attempts to connect when it receives a specific start character

 

 

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 dot-decimal 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.

 

 

Table 4-10. Manual Connection Address Example

 

 

 

 

 

 

Command String

Result if remote IP is 129.1.2.3 and remote port is 1234

 

 

 

 

 

 

C121.2.4.5/1

Complete override; connection is started with host 121.2.4.5, port 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

C5

Connects to 129.1.2.5, port 1234

 

 

 

 

 

 

C28.10/12

Connects to 129.1.28.10, port 12
