Appendix C. NL200 Settings
CS I/O PakBus Verify Interval
This setting specifies the interval, in units of seconds, that will be reported as
the link verification interval in the PakBus hello transaction messages. It will
indirectly govern the rate at which the NL200 will attempt to start a hello
transaction with a neighbor if no other communication has taken place within
the interval.
C.4 Net Services Tab
Telnet
Enables/Disables the telnet service.
Telnet Port Number
The default TCP port number for the configuration monitor telnet session is 23.
This entry makes it possible for the user to change the telnet session port
number if desired. Typically it is not necessary to change this entry from its
default. (range 1..65535)
Telnet Timeout
This setting, in units of seconds, will determine how fast the configuration
monitor telnet session will timeout if no activity is detected. Set to 0 for no
timeout (not recommended). (range 0..999)
Ping (ICMP)
The NL200 will not respond to 'Ping' requests if this setting is disabled.
PakBus Address
This setting specifies the PakBus address for this device. The value for this
setting must be chosen such that the address of the device will be unique in the
scope of the datalogger network. Duplication of PakBus addresses in two or
more devices can lead to failures and unpredictable behavior in the PakBus
network. When a device has a neighbor list or neighbor filter setting filled in
for a port, any device that has an address greater than or equal to 4000 will be
allowed to connect to that device regardless of the neighbor filter.
PakBus/TCP Server Port
This setting specifies the TCP service port for PakBus communications with
the datalogger. Unless firewall issues exist, this setting probably does not need
to be changed from its default value.
PakBus/TCP Password
Specifies the password that will be used to authenticate any incoming (server)
or outgoing (client) PakBus/TCP sessions. This password is used by the server
to generate a challenge to any client that connects to the PakBus/TCP server
port. If the client fails to respond appropriately, the connection will be
terminated. If this password is blank (the default value), no such authentication
will take place.
