Host List Configuration

The WFS802b scrolls through the host list until it connects to a device listed in the host list

table. After a successful connection, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If this

connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through the table until the next successful

connection.

The host list supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains

an IP address and a port number.

Note: The host list is disabled for Manual and Modem Mode. The unit will not accept

a data connection from a remote device when the hostlist option is enabled.
