Connect Mode
In Connect Mode, the PremierWave XC continues to attempt an outgoing connection on the
network, until established. If the connection attempt fails or the connection drops, then it retries
after a timeout. The remote node on the network must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection.
For Connect Mode to function, it must be enabled, have a remote station (node) configured, and
a remote port configured (TCP or UDP). When established, Connect Mode is always on. Enter
the remote station as an IP address or DNS name. The
PremierWave XC will not make a
connection unless it can resolve the address.
For Connect Mode using UDP, the
PremierWave XC accepts packets from any device on the
network. It will send packets to the last device that sent it packets.
Note:
The Port in Connect Mode is not the same port configured in Accept Mode.
The TCP keepalive time is the time in which proves are periodically sent to the other end of the
connection. This ensures the other side is still connected.

Description
Mode Sets the method to be used to attempt a connection to a remote host or
device. Choices are:
 Always = a connection is attempted until one is made. If the connection
gets disconnected, the PremierWave XC retries until it makes a
connection.
 Disable = an outgoing connection is never attempted. (default)
Local Port Enter an alternative Local Port. The Local Port is set to <Random> by
default but can be overridden. Blank the field to restore the default.
Host 1 Click on the displayed information to expand it for editing. If <None> is
displayed, clicking it will allow you to configure a new host. At least one Host
is required to enable Connect Mode as this information is necessary to
connect to that host.
Reconnect Timer Sets the value of the reconnect timeout (in milliseconds) for outgoing
connections established by the device. Valid range is 1 to 65535
milliseconds. Default is 15000.
Flush Serial Data Sets whether the serial Line data buffer is flushed upon a new network
connection. Choices are:
 Enabled = serial data buffer is flushed on network connection
 Disabled = serial data buffer is not flushed on network connection
(default)
