Data Communication and Host Modes

Figure 8-6: AceManager : PPP/Ethernet
• *HOSTPRIVMODE ‐ Set to 1 to enable the explicit IP
addresses.
• *HOSTPRIVIP ‐ Set to the IP address you want the
PinPoint X to give to your device.
• *HOSTPEERIP ‐ Set to the IP address you want for the
PinPoint X.
• *HOSTNETMASK ‐ Set to the subnetmask, generally
255.255.255.0.
Tip: If you are using Private Mode (*HOSTPRIVMODE=1), you will
need to make sure that *HOSTPRIVIP and *HOSTPEERIP are on the
same subnet. If the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, it is safe to use
192.168.x.y for each as long as the x is the same number (0 in the
example screen shot above) and the y is different (1 and 2 in the
example) and between 0 and 254.
Note: Regardless if the PinPoint X is configured for Public Mode or
Private Mode, the same IP address will be given to all devices
connected to any of the ports. While you can connect with each to the
cellular network and the Internet, you cannot use the PinPoint X as a
hub or router to communicate between them.
Internal DHCP Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) has become a
primary component of today’s network environments. DHCP
allows one server to automatically and dynamically allocate
network IP addresses and other network related settings (such
