Table A-6. Communication Protocol Options (2 of 2)

Node Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the Node Subnet Mask. This option is only available when the standalone unit is configured as an LTU.

000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255 ± Enter an address for the Node Subnet Mask.

Default Network Destination

Possible Settings: None, COM, DSL

Default Setting: None

Specifies where the default management network is connected, for example, if your default network is connected to the COM port, select COM as the default management network destination.

None ± No default destination is defined. Unroutable data is discarded.

COM ± The unit's COM port is the default network destination. This option is only available when the Port Use option on the Communication Port Options menu is set to Net Link.

DSL ± The unit's DSL port is the default network destination.

Communication Port IP Address

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 ± 223.255.255.255

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the unit's Communication Port IP Address when the unit is configured as a network communication link. This option is only used when the Port Use option on the Communication Port Options menu is set to Net Link. If the COM Port IP address is not set (000.000.000.000) the node IP address specified by the Node IP Port will be used.

000.000.000.000 ± 223.255.255.255 ± Enter an address for the Communication Port. The range for the first byte is 000 to 223, with the exception of 127. The range for the remaining three bytes is 000 to 255.

Communication Port Subnet Mask

Possible Settings: 000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255

Default Setting: 000.000.000.000

Specifies the unit's Communication Port Subnet Mask when the unit is configured as a network communication link. This option is only used when the Port Use option on the Communication Port Options menu is set to Net Link. If the COM Port IP address is not set (000.000.000.000), the node IP Address will be used.

000.000.000.000 ± 255.255.255.255 ± Enter an address for the Communication Port Subnet Mask.

Communication Port Link Protocol

Possible Settings: PPP, SLIP

Default Setting: PPP

Specifies the unit's Communication Port link protocol when the unit is configured as a network communication link. This option is only used when the Port Use option on the Communication Port Options menu is set to Net Link.

PPP± Defines Point-to-Point protocol for the link layer protocol for the network communication link.

SLIP ± Serial Line IP Protocol for the link layer protocol for the network communication link.
