Westermo OS Management Guide
Version 4.17.0-0
41.1.1.1 General MicroLok Gateway Parameters
As of WeOS v4.17.0 a single MicroLok gateway instance is supported. You can
specify which network interface, and which UDP port the gateway should listen
on. By default, the gateway will listen for IP/UDP MicroLok packets on any network
interface and UDP port 60000.
Firewall rules will be added automatically for the specified interface and UDP
port. These rules will accept IP/UDP MicroLok packets coming in on the specified
listening interface and destined for the given UDP port. This automatic firewall
rule will suffice in most use cases (if further firewall tweaking is needed, see
chapter 31 ).
The general MicroLok settings also includes a set of MicroLok specific timeouts
applying to MicroLok communication on all local serial ports: Key-On delay, Key-
Off delay and Grant delay. These timeouts are all disabled by default, which
should be fine in most use cases.
41.1.1.2 The MicroLok Address Lookup Table
The MicroLok Gateway contains an address lookup table. As of WeOS v4.17.0 the
table can hold up to 64 address entries, and each entry containing the following
items:
❼ MicroLok Station Address: A two-byte MicroLok address, given as a hexadec-
imal number, e.g., ”001f”.
❼ A local or remote destination: The location of the given MicroLok station
address is either specified as a local serial port, e.g., ”serial 1”, or as a re-
mote gateway (IP address and optionally a UDP port number), e.g., ”remote
192.168.2.1:12345” for a remote gateway with IP address 192.168.2.1 lis-
tening on UDP port 12345. Either a local serial port or a remote gateway
needs to be specified for an address entry to be active.
When remote gateway is specified, the default UDP port number is 60000.
❼ Station Description: An optional 15 byte text string to describe the given
MicroLok station. Disabled by default.
❼ Session Timeout: Timeout used to determine if a session established with
this MicroLok station is down. The session timeout can be in range 500-
600000 (milliseconds). Disabled by default.
