•
You can change the host server without needing to set up your terminals.
•
Since any host on the network can try to make a connection with the
terminal, any host that knows how to communicate with the terminal can
read data from the terminal.

The terminal displays the current Socket Port setting in the center of the screen.
The default value is
2500
. To change the displayed value:
•
Press the “F5” key to select
Socket Port

Use the numeric keys to type the new socket port number, up to five digits
(You can press the “

enter
key to apply the socket port change. The terminal returns to the TCP/IP
Setup screen and displays the new value for the
Socket Port
field in the
center of the screen.
If you type an invalid socket port number the terminal displays
Invalid
Socket Port
and returns you to the saved/default value.
5.
Append EOT Yes
adds an end-of-transmission (EOT) character to the end of
the communication packet. The default value is
Append EOT No
. Turning this
option on helps to eliminate the possibility of large packets being lost. There are
some networks that limit the size of a packet that can be transmitted between
devices. The

selection does not add (append) EOT numbers.
To change the displayed Append EOT value, press the “F6” key to select
between
Append EOT No
