4.3.2 AI-PROXY Configuration
The AI-PROXY configuration screen differs from that of the AI-SRVR in that five fields
have been deleted and two fields added. The default screen is that of
Figure 12 . The
fields present in the AI-SRVR screen but missing from the AI-PROXY screen are:
Node ID (Instead, the AI-PROXY uses the Node ID List field.)
Receive All (Promiscuous mode is not used in the AI-PROXY.)
Tx Enable (In Proxy mode, Enable.)
FIFO Depth (Mailboxes are not used with AI-PROXY.)
UDP Port (UDP protocol is not used with AI-PROXY.)
Keepalive Values (In Proxy mode, these three values are unused.)
TCP Values (In Proxy mode, default values are okay.)
The two new fields are described below:
Remote Proxy IPs — This field lists only the IP addresses (in the dotted-quad format)
of AI-PROXY units that are separated by a router. Since a router blocks broadcast
messages, such units cannot self-discover their IP addresses as is normally done within
a common subnet. This field can accept up to 256 lines including comment lines that
must begin with the pound symbol (#) and have no more than sixteen characters.
Node ID List — This field is used to enter the decimal value of each node ID being
represented by this proxy device.
After each value is typed in, press the ‘Enter’ key. If
the proxy device is an AI-SRVR-8, up to eight values can be entered. When more than
three values are entered, this field will scroll to accommodate another value. You can
scroll this field with the up and down arrow keys.
