MODEL 8100 USER / INSTALLATION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
(WIRELESS)
This section will discuss the CDMA (Wireless) configurations. The CDMA
modem hardware should be installed. In the 8100/9100 models, only one
communication type is allowed for all hosts.
TCP/IP ADDRESSES
The Ethernet-equipped ATM communicates using Transmission Control Protocol
(TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP), allowing it to send and receive information in
the form of small packets of digital data. In order to configure the ATM to
correctly access the enterprise network using this protocol, IP addresses must
be entered into the appropriate ATM setup functions. The Addresses are the
HOST IP ADDRESS (located under the Configure Processors parameters) and
LISTENING PORT (located under the Configure Terminal parameters). The
TERMINAL IP ADDRESSES are auto-detected and can not be changed.
The HOST IP ADDRESS is the IP address of the server that processes the terminal
transactions. The LISTENING PORT value identifies the data being sent to that
specific machine.
TCP/IP TIMEOUT is the time that the terminal will wait from the message to be
sent to the host and the time it takes for the host to respond.
If Triton Connect® ATM monitoring software is being used, the applicable IP
addresses for the Triton Connect host computer must also be entered.
CHANGES
There is functionality in the terminal software that makes reference to TCP/IP
but is actually dealing with the Ethernet “hardware” which happens to use
TCP/IP as its communication protocol. Wireless modems will use TCP/IP
communication protocol. To eliminate confusion between what is considered
hardware and the communications protocol, there will be several locations
where the text will change from “TCP/IP” to “Ethernet”.
