Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks

Advanced
Call-back Enabled – Enabling call-back tells LoggerNet to watch for a call-

back from the datalogger on this port.

Dataloggers depicted in the Setup Screen must be configured for call-back as

well. For mixed array dataloggers, set the Call-Back ID to some value other

than 0 to accomplish this. For CRBasic dataloggers, enable the Call-Back

Enabled check box for those dataloggers which should be enabled for call-

back.

TCP Listen Only – When selected, LoggerNet will never attempt to make an

outgoing TCP Link on this IPPort. It will only listen for an incoming TCP call-

back. This option is useful for a datalogger doing TCP call-back from behind a

firewall. In this case, it is not possible to create a TCP connection from

LoggerNet to the datalogger and any time spent attempting to do so will be

wasted and may result in missing incoming connection attempts.

Extra Response Time – In this field, specify the additional time that

LoggerNet should delay before terminating the communications link if there is

no response from the IPPort. Additional time may be needed in instances

where the communications link is noisy or network traffic is heavy.

Delay Hangup – The amount of time, in seconds and milliseconds, that

LoggerNet should delay before hanging up the link to the device. If a new

command to the device is issued before the delay has expired, communication

will not be terminated.

IP Port Used for Call-back – If call-back is enabled for the IP port, enter the

port number that LoggerNet should open and monitor for incoming call-back

messages.

AirLink Modem Name – If an AirLink modem is being used, enter the Device

ID set in it. By default, this is the 11-digit Electronic Serial Number of the

device.

When entering the IP address, do not use leading zeros for the

address numbers. For example use 123.123.2.34 instead of

123.123.002.034.

LoggerNet waits a certain amount of time for a response from each

device in a communications path. The extra response times

defined for the communications link are cumulative. Therefore,

the amount of time spent waiting for a device to respond is the

sum of all Extra Response Times defined, plus the default

response time for each device in the link. Add the minimum time

necessary since very long response times can delay other

scheduled events while waiting for a device that is not responding.

4.2.4.3 TAPIPort (Telephony API)

The TAPI port uses the phone modems that have been installed and configured

in Windows. This eliminates the need for LoggerNet to specify the modem

type or work with initialization strings. Like the standard serial port,

configuration for the TAPI port has only Hardware and Notes tabs. Following

is an explanation of each of the fields on the Hardware tab.
