Section 13. Implementing Advanced Communications Links

Subnet Mask – This setting is used to limit the search applicability area for IP

addresses. If both the server and the serial server are in the same low level

subnet this would be set to 255.255.255.0. Consult with the network

administrator for the proper setting.

Default Gateway – This specifies the IP address of the router for the local

computer network. Consult with the computer network administrator for the

proper setting.

Baud Rate – This specifies the baud rate used by the serial server to

communicate with the serial device attached to the COM port. The RF base

communicates at a baud rate of 9600.

IP Port ID – This specifies the port ID used by the serial server to direct serial

communications. This must be set even on devices with only one port. This

number is entered as part of the IP address in Setup for the IPPort device. For

example, if the port ID was specified to be 3201, using the IP address above

the entry in Setup would appear as follows: 198.199.32.45:3201

Inactivity Timeout – This timer resets the TCP/IP socket port if there has not

been any activity on the port for the specified period of time. The time is

usually specified in minutes. This prevents a situation where the socket gets

left open after a call and blocks other incoming calls.
