Configuration through the Java applet interface

Network settings
To configure network settings, click the Network link. Network settings are organized on three
tabs:
 Basic: Shows how the device’s IP address is obtained, either by DHCP or by using a
static IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Contact your network administrator
if you do not know what these settings mean, or when they need to be entered or
referenced.
 Network Services: Shows a set of common network services that are available for
devices, and the port on which the service is running. Network services can be enabled
or disabled, and the TCP port on which the network services listen can be changed from
the default, with some exceptions. Disabling services may be done for security purposes
so that a device is running only those services specifically needed by the device. Any
non-secure services, such as Telnet, can be disabled. For a discussion of the effects of
disabling these network services, see "Network services settings" on page 64
 Advanced: Shows advanced network settings, including the Ethernet Interface speed
and duplex mode (Auto, Half-Duplex, or Full Duplex).
Serial ports
To configure serial ports, click Serial Ports. In contrast to the web interface, the Java applet
interface does not make use of port profiles to configure serial port settings. The serial port
information is similar to that shown for the Custom Profile in the web interface. The Serial
Configuration page involves several groups of settings arranged on tabs:
 Basic: Shows basic serial configuration settings, such as baud rate, data bits, parity, stop
bits, and flow control.
 Port Services: Configures TCP and UDP client services.
 Network Services: Configures services that monitor data on the network and relay it to
the serial port.
 Advanced: Advanced serial configuration settings for TCP and UDP client services,
including whether a socket ID is sent, and whether a connection should be closed after a
certain number of idle seconds or if the DCD or DSR signals go low.
GPIO pins
To configure GPIO pins, click the GPIO link. GPIO pin configuration is similar to that in the web
interface. Current settings for all GPIO pins are shown, and they can be changed as needed. Once
GPIO pins are configured, alarms can be defined to send notifications in the event of any changes
to GPIO pin states.
