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 Mode and for Modem Mode.

 

The unit will not accept a data connection from a remote device

 

when the hostlist option is enabled.
