(1) First Port
Enter the starting port that you are going to be monitoring within the range specified (1024
65535).
(2) Number of Ports
Enter the number of ports that you are going to be monitoring, that will have units calling in and
downloading data onto the PC. The number of Ports is equivalent to the number of monitors using
AutoCall Home.
(3) Protocol UDP
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is the only protocol supported for Auto Call Home IP. UDP is a
high-level communication protocol that coordinates the one-way transmission of data in a packet
data network. The UDP protocol coordinates the division of files or blocks of data information
into packets and adds sequence information to the packets that are transmitted during a
communication session using Internet Protocol (IP) addressing. This allows the receiving end to
receive and re-sequence the packets to recreate the original data file or block of data that was
transmitted. UDP adds a small amount of overhead (control data) to each packet relative to other
high-level protocols such as TCP.
(4) Computer Address (For Testing Only)
To obtain your computer IP Address, click on the Windows Start > Programs > Run and type
CMD in upper or lower case, in the text block that appears. The Command Prompt window will
appear. At the blinking horizontal cursor after C:\>directory, type IPCONFIG in upper or lower
case and select OK. The IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway are listed. Record the
IP Address for later use – this address will be used to setup the Auto Call Home UDP/IP
communications.
