Configuring the Network
Configuring TFTP
These parameters configure the TFTP settings for the Device Server’s connections to hosts (as
opposed to the TFTP settings under
Tools , Options , which configure the TFTP settings for the
DeviceManager’s connection to a Device Server).
Configure the following parameters:
Retry
Timeout
UDP Port
Configuring Gateways
You can configure gateways to allow the Device Server access to hosts that are not within the local
network segment.
Configure the following parameters:
The number of times the Device Server will attempt to transfer (using TFTP) a
file to/from a host. Enter a value between 0 and 5. The default is 5. A value of
0 (zero) means that the Device Server will not attempt a retry should TFTP fail.
The time, in seconds, that the Device Server will wait for a successful transmit
or receipt of TFTP packets before retrying a TFTP transfer. Enter a value
between 3 and 10. The default is 3 seconds.
The port that the DeviceManager will use to TFTP to hosts. The default port is
33814 (ports 33812 and 33813 are also in use by the DeviceManager).
Host
You can specify up to twenty hosts to act as gateways in your network. Each
gateway host must be defined in the Device Server host table.
Service
Specify the type of gateway:
z Default—A gateway which provides general access beyond your local
network.
z Host—A gateway reserved for accessing a specific host external to your
local network.
z Network—A gateway reserved for accessing a specific network external
to your local network.
Destination
Address
When the gateway is a Host or Network gateway, you must specify the IP
address of the target host machine/network.
