i-PORT III User’s Guide
Document ID: UG-i-PORT III NAE -22-
i-PORT General
Standard i-PORT settings such as type, external devices etc.
i-PORT Type 2 possibilities: “Host” and “Client”
Enter the i-PORT type here.
i-PORT Main ID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area ID)
i-PORT SubID i-PORT identifier for event messages (Area SubID)
i-PORT SerDevice 4 possibilities: “No Device”, “GPS”, “Modem”, and “Serl Host” (Restart after
changes!)
“No Device” means the serial port is not used. There is an option to connect a
GPS device (i.e. Garmin) or a GSM Modem (i.e. Siemens TC35). Furthermore,
the i-PORT can be controlled serially (Serl Host).
Host Connection
These are settings used if the i-PORT is to be connected to a host computer (Client Mode).
Host IPAddr Host computer IP address
Host Port Host computer port
Host TimeOut i-PORT timeout
Host SyncInterval Interval for synchronizing i-PORT time (if a GPS device is connected, time is
synchronized with GPS time)
Host SendInterval Interval for sending messages to host computer
Host ListSize When this value is reached, the list is sent to the host computer
Debug Config
Settings for the Debug output (Port 7090). If a check-box is selected then that parameter is valid.
Debug HostMirror Output on Debug Port of all data that is exchanged on the Host Interface (serial
or Ethernet).
Debug TagList The amount of time which a tag list is outputted on the Debug Port (“0” means
no output)
Debug NewTag Output of newly-recognized tags (Note: must be less than the Inhibit Time!)
Debug ScanTag Output of tag list after sequence execution.
Synchronization
Note: Not implemented with i-LINKS
Settings for when several i-PORTs are located in a small space, necessitating synchronization. After
marking the check-box, the IPs of the other i-PORTs can be entered into the designated field.
Master IP Enter IP addresses of the neighboring i-PORTs
Comm Timeout Timeout for synchronization (when registering a slave at the master)
Token Timeout Timeout for synchronization (Timeout for Token signal)
