Alarm Retry Limit (Attempts)
Web Parameter:
Alarm Retry Limit in the TCP Server Settings of the Serial Setup page.
Network Type:
Both
Default Setting:
0
Options:
Any number of retry attempts. There is no limit.
Description:
The number of times the transceiver attempts to create an outgoing TCP
connection when acting as an alarm client (when the Utilize For Alarm
parameter is set to Enabled).
When the transceiver reaches the number of retries listed in this setting
without a successful connection, it stops trying and acts as if no alarm was
received. The incoming data is flushed from the transceiver’s data buffer. If
new incoming data is received, the transceiver attempts to connect again. A
setting of 0 means that the transceiver continuously tries to connect to the
alarm server until the transceiver is rebooted.
For more information about setting up alarm clients, see "Using the Serial Port
as an Alarm Client" on page 41.
Drop Link
Web Parameter:
Maintain/Drop Link in the TCP Server Settings section of the Serial Setup
page.
Network Type:
Both
Default Setting:
Disabled
Options:
Disabled, Enabled
Description:
Enabling Drop Link causes the outgoing connection to the address set in the
Alarm IP & Port field to drop as soon as the serial data is sent. Disabling
Drop Link keeps the connection to the remote IP address and port number
active until the transceiver is rebooted or the server side drops the link.
For more information about setting up alarm clients, see "Using the Serial Port
as an Alarm Client" on page 41.
Multicast IP
Web Parameter:
Multicast Address & Port in the Multicast Settings section of the Serial
Setup page.
Network Type:
Both
Default Setting:
0.0.0.0
Options:
Any valid multicast address from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
Description:
The IP address used for Multicast if the serial port is set to Multicast mode. In
a MultiPoint Gateway, this is the sending address. In MultiPoint Endpoints and
MultiPoint Repeaters, this is the address they register interest in.
