4.5.3.4 Multi-host Connection (Continued)

Connection Type – The options are Disable, Simultaneous, and Sequential. The iServer can send the received serial data to multiple network hosts Simultaneously or Sequentially.

In Simultaneous mode, the received serial data will be transmitted to all the network nodes that are indicated in the host table (using TCP or UDP protocol depending on which protocol is selected under the NETWORK page).

In Sequential mode, the iServer scrolls through the IP addresses in the host table until it connects to one. After a successful connection, the iServer stops trying to connect to any others. If this connection fails, the iServer continues to scroll through the table until the next successful connection takes place.

Each entry in the host table should contain an IP address and a port number. The default is Disable.

Retry Counter – This indicates the number of tries to connect to the host address. The default is 2.

Retry Timeout – This indicates the amount of time (msec) between each try. The default is 200 msec.
