Configuration

Port Number
This setting is the source port number in TCP connections, and is the number used to
identify the channel for remote initiating connections. The port number may not be
set to 0 or 9999 (range: 1-65535). In general the port numbers 0..1023 are reserved in
UNIX systems for specific applications. It is advisable to use numbers in the range
2000-30000 to avoid potential conflicts.
If the UDP Datagram mode is selected, the port number is used as the UDP source
port number for outgoing datagrams; datagrams sent to the VMSE with this port
number are received to this channel.
Remote IP Address
When automatic connection mode is selected, a connection is made to this IP address
on the network.
Remote TCP Port
The remote TCP port number must be set to use automatic connections and can also
be configured for manual connect mode. This parameter defines the port number on
the target host to which a connection is attempted.
NOTE: To connect an ASCII terminal to a host using a VMSE for login purposes,
use the remote port number 23 (this is the Internet standard port number for Telnet
services).
This port number is also used as the UDP destination port number for transmitted
datagrams, provided the VMSE is used in UDP mode.
