can include a destination port number.
The IP address must be in standard dot-decimal notation and
may be a partial address, representing the least significant 1, 2,
or 3 bytes of the remote IP address. The period is required
between each pair of IP address numbers.
If present, the port number must follow the IP address, must
be presented as a decimal number in the range 1-65535, and
must be preceded by a forward slash (ASCII 0x2F). The slash
separates the IP address and the port number. If you omit the
port number from a command string, the internally stored
remote port number starts a connection.
If a partial IP address is presented in a command string, it is
interpreted to be the least significant bytes of the IP address
and uses the internally stored remote IP address to provide the
most significant bytes of the IP address. If the IP address
entered is 0.0.0.0/0, the device server enters Monitor Mode.
For example, if the remote IP address already configured in the
unit is 129.1.2.3, then an example command string would be
C3/7. (This would connect to 129.1.2.3 and port 7.) You may
also use a different ending for the connection string. For
example, C50.1/23 would connect you to 129.1.50.1 and port
23.
Table IV.10 Manual Connection Address Example
Command String Result if remote IP is 129.1.2.3 and remote port is 1234
C121.2.4.5/1 Complete override; connection is started with host 121.2.4.5, port 1
C5 Connects to 129.1.2.5, port 1234
C28.10/12 Connects to 129.1.28.10, port 12
C0.0.0.0/0 Connects to 129.1.28.10, port 12; enters Monitor Mode
Autostart (Automatic
Connection)
The unit automatically attempts a connection to the
remote IP address and port after booting up
Hostlist If this option is set to True, the device server scrolls
through the host list until it connects to the first available
device listed in the host list table. Once it connects, the
unit stops further attempts. If this connection fails, the unit
continues to scroll through the table until it is able to
connect to the next available IP address in the host list.
Hostlist supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12
entries. Each entry contains the IP address and the port
number.
The hostlist is disabled for Manual Mode and for Modem
Mode. The unit will not accept a data connection from a
remote device when the hostlist option is enabled.
