i-PORT Configuration:
Standard i-PORT settings such as type, external devices, etc.
i-PORT Type “Fix”, “mobile VisuMC”, and “Client”
Enter the i-PORT type. “Fix” runs the I-PORT in host mode (external
device must connect to the I-PORT). “Client” runs the I-PORT in client
mode (I-PORT connects to external device). “MobileVisuMC” is a special
mode for mobile applications and will normally not be used.
i-PORT Main ID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area ID). Allows users to attach
context-relevant reader identification to the event messages.
i-PORT SubID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area SubID)
i-PORT SerDevice Used to select the type of device connected to the serial port. 4
possibilities: “No Device”, “GPS”, “Modem”, and “Serl Host” (Restart
after changes!)
“No Device” means the serial port is not used. There is an option to
connect a GPS device (i.e. Garmin) or a GSM Modem (i.e. Siemens
TC35). Furthermore, the i-PORT can be controlled serially (Serl
Host).i-PORT Longitude Longitude co-ordinates. Default value to
send if no GPS is connected (“Mobile VisuMC” mode).
i-PORT Latitude Latitude co-ordinates. Default value to send if no GPS is connected
(“Mobile VisuMC” mode).
Host Connection:
These are settings used if the i-PORT is to be connected to a host computer (“Client” or
“Mobile VisuMC” modes).
Host IPAddr Host computer IP address
Host Port Host computer port
Host TimeOut Connection retry interval if connection to the host is lost (“Client” mode)
Host SyncInterval Interval for synchronizing i-PORT time (if a GPS device is connected,
time is synchronized with GPS time) (“Mobile VisuMC” mode)
Host SendInterval Interval between retries if a message is not acknowledged by the host
Host ListSize Tag list is buffered until this value is reached, then sent to the host
computer (“Mobile VisuMC” mode)
Debug Config:
Settings for the Debug output (Port 7090). If a check-box is selected, that parameter is valid.
Debug HostMirror Output on Debug Port all data that is exchanged on the Host Interface
(serial or Ethernet).
Debug TagList Time after which a tag list is sent to the Debug Port (“0” means no
output)
Debug NewTag Output of newly-recognized tags (Note the Inhibit Time!!)
Debug ScanTag Output of tag list after sequence execution (see Page 28)
Synchronization:
Settings when several i-PORTs are located in a small space, necessitating synchronization of
transmissions to prevent RF interference. After marking the check-box, the IPs of the other
i-PORTs can be entered into the designated field.
Neighbour(s) IP Enter IP addresses of the neighbouring i-PORTs
Timeout Timeout for synchronization (not implemented at this time)
Scan:
i-PORT settings for the scan process.
