Connect Mode

Connect Mode defines how the XPort AR makes an outgoing connection. For Connect Mode to
function, it must be enabled, have a remote station configured, and a remote port configured (TCP
or UDP). When enabled, Connect Mode is always on.

Enter the remote host address station as an IP address or DNS name. The XPort AR will not make
a connection unless it can resolve the address. For DNS names, after 4 hours of an active
connection, the XPort AR will re-evaluate the address. If it is maps to a different address, it will
close the connection.

Connect Mode supports the following protocols:

TCP

AES encryption over TCP and UDP

Local Port

Enter the port number for use as the local port. The defaults are port 10001
for Tunnel 1 and port 10002 for Tunnel 2.

Protocol

Select the protocol type for use with Accept Mode. The default protocol is
TCP. If you select TCP AES you will need to configure the AES keys.

TCP Keep Alive

Enter the time, in seconds, the XPort AR waits during a silent connection
before checking if the currently connected network device is still on the
network. If the unit then gets no response after 8 attempts, it drops that
connection.

Flush Serial Data

Select Enabled to flush the serial data buffer on a new connection.

Block Serial Data

Select On to block, or not tunnel, serial data transmitted to the XPort AR.

Block Network Data

Select On to block, or not tunnel, network data transmitted to the XPort AR.

Password

Enter a password that clients must send to the XPort AR within 30 seconds
from opening a network connection to enable data transmission.

The password can have up to 31 characters and must contain only
alphanumeric characters and punctuation. When set, the password sent to
the XPort AR must be terminated with one of the following: (a) 0x0A (LF), (b)
0x00, (c) 0x0D 0x0A (CR LF), or (d) 0x0D 0x00.

Email on Connect

Select whether the XPort AR sends an email when a connection is made.
Select None if you do not want to send an email. Otherwise, select the Email
profile to use for sending.

Email on Disconnect

Select whether the XPort AR sends an email when a connection is closed.
Select None if you do not want to send an email. Otherwise, select the Email
profile to use for sending.

CP Output

Enter a CP Group whose value should change when a connection is
established and dropped.

Connection value—Specifies the value to set the CP Group to when a
connection is established.
