Real-Time Socket Mode
The Mode can be toggled to LISTEN, PUSH, or OFF.
When set to LISTEN the option functions like traditional real-time sockets on TCP port 220x.
When set to PUSH the unit tries to make a TCP connection on the TCP port specified in G) Real-Time Socket
Push Port Number. As long as a connection exists, the unit sends all data in the specified file on the connection as
data become available.
The default setting is LISTEN.
Show Answer String on Connection
This is an ON/OFF toggle to enable the prompt indicating successful connection to the Real-Time Socket (RTS)
port. The default setting is ON.
Require Xon to Start Data Flow
This
is an ON/OFF toggle to enable the Xon/Xoff data flow control requirement. The default setting is OFF.
Idle Connection Close Timer
This field sets the number of seconds (0
– 255) to wait before disconnecting an idle connection. A setting of 0
means the connection will never automatically close. The default setting is 0.
Close Socket When File Empty
This is an ON/OFF toggle to set whether or not the S571 will automatically terminate the RTS connection when the
file for this port has been emptied. Default setting is OFF.
Real-Time Socket Push Hostname/IP
Use this field to
sets the hostname or IP address of the server where the unit will push the data if the RTS Mode is
set to Push. (Maximum length is 64 chars)
Real-Time Socket Push Port Number
This option sets the TCP-port number the RTS push should use. The default setting is port 3000.
Real-Time Socket Push Retry Timer
This option sets the number of minutes (1
– 255) to wait before retrying an RTS push that has previously failed.
The default setting is 5 minutes.
SNMP Trap Capture Settings
The SiteBoss can receive and buffer SNMPv1 traps and SNMPv2c inform-requests (informs). Each notification can
be subjected to data event evaluation, stored in the Event Log, and delivered via normal Event Log delivery.
When SNMP Trap Capture is enabled, the SiteBoss listens on port 162 for notifications; those over 1024 bytes are
ignored. The unit will respond to informs as soon as they arrive regardless of the content of the inform.
