Protocol Support
The MatchPort device server uses the TCP/IP protocol stack for network
communications. Other supported protocols include:
ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for
network communications and management.
TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial ports.
TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which
devices interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point
connection.
SMTP for email transmission.
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on
the network. There are three basic methods for logging into the device server:
DeviceInstaller: View the current MatchPort configuration using a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
Web-Manager: Through a web interface, configure the MatchPort and its settings.
(See
4: Configuration Using Web-Manager
Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Serial Mode. Make a
Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a
terminal emulation program) to serial port 1. (See
