7.The Default Gateway Address and Subnet Mask parameters on the Serial Adapter must be set to the appropriate values for your network. See your Network Administrator for details.
8.It is also possible to do a station search from a wired worksta- tion to determine the IP Address of any Serial Adapters within range. The station search is a one byte packet (value of the byte is 2), sent as a UDP broadcast.
Each Serial Adapter that receives the search packet will send the following response:
1 BYTE: | packet type (= 3) |
4 BYTES: | IP address of responding Serial Adapter |
The response is sent by the Serial Adapter using a directed UDP message.
