4.5 HTTPget Program (continued)

Whenever Terminal Server service (using Port 2000 by default) is required, the # of

connections must be set to a value from 1 to 5. The Terminal Server mode is the

recommended mode for the most reliable connection when operating with NEWPORT

software or with other programs supporting TCP/IP communications. The Port 2000

access can be used with NEWPORT software and may be needed with some zSeries

wireless system products when you need to view readings from the web page while

simultaneously collecting data through TCP/IP communications.

4.5.1 HTTPget using Port 2000

You can setup and read the information from the zSeries wireless system by using the

HTTPget program. The following program can be used to read data from the embedded

server firmware by using TCP port 2000. The command string is sent to this TCP port,

then the response can be read back from the same socket.

The HTTPget.exe file is used to setup and read information from the zSeries system.

This file will be automatically installed when you install the MailNotifier software available

on our website and CD.

Notes on using HTTPget :

The HTTPget.exe program is installed to the windows directory (usually c:\winnt or

c:\windows) when installing the Mail Notifier software.
