DART 200 CDPD Modem User’s Guide

5 DART Supported Protocols

Sample UDP server setups

These settings give a general sense of the AT commands required to set up a DART 200 for a UDP application. All relevant AT commands are listed, including the defaults. All devices function differently, so the setups that follow are general. These setups show specific items to examine, but it is good practice to examine all of the setup values.

Two UDP setup examples are given:

Remote UDP setup - A remote telemetry application and a central client application, that shows the setup for a server modem at an RTU being polled by a host computer

Host UDP setup - shows the setup for a client modem at the host computer that does the polling. This modem at the host arrangement is suitable for bench-testing and limited use pilot implementations. Production systems normally are direct connected through a leased line or frame relay to a router at the customer’s host system (F-ES)

Remote UDP setup

The remote modem is set up as a server at the remote telemetry unit where it responds to polls from a host computer. The sample RTU does not use flow control and the data being sent is binary, not character, data. This requires the UDP server to be set up with auto answer to respond to polling, no flow control, and timed data forwarding because of the binary data.

In Table 5-1, line items marked with an R (required) or an O (optional) were changed from the default (D). After the changes are made save them with an AT&W.
