from the primary and secondary connection addresses. Automatically selected if
Alternate IP Enable
is selected.
• Alternate IP Enable : Select to allow both the primary and secondary IP addresses to be
used. When selected
Only Accept This Addr(s)
is also automatically selected.
• Bridge IP Port: This controls the IP port used for bridge connections. It controls both the
port that the Gateway will accept connections on, and the port the Gateway will attempt
to connect to if it tries to establish a bridge.
• Received LogServer Information Packets (ID [ should be IAM ] and TIME)
:
• Filter Packets : Enable to filter IAM and TIME packets. It is recommended that this
control is enabled.
A gateway that is bridged to another gateway or IP bridge device can broadcast these
packets across the link. It is good practice to filter these packet types, as they provide
the basic packets to allow logging, and logging should not cross bridge links other
than in exceptional circumstances, such as for diagnostic purposes.
• Remote IP Address: This shows the IP address of the remote end of the IP bridge (when
connected).
• Started By: This shows who initiated the bridge connection. If this unit established the
connection it will show 'local' if the remote unit established the connection it will show
'remote'.
•
Start Time:
This shows the time at which the bridge connection was established.
• Packets Received: This shows the number of packets received over the IP bridge.
• Packets Sent: This shows the number of packets transmitted over the IP bridge.
•
Connect:
This will cause the Gateway to attempt to connect the IP bridge. The Gateway
will connect to the IP address and port specified by Bridge IP Addr and Bridge IP Port.
•
Disconnect:
This will cause the Gateway to disconnect the IP bridge. If either end of the IP
bridge is set to auto-connect the bridge, then the bridge will be immediately re-
established.
• Connect Automatically: If this is enabled, the Gateway will automatically try to establish a
bridge connection at system start-up, if the connection fails, or if it is manually
disconnected.
• Active Bridge Logging: When enabled, values reported by IP_BRIDGE_STATUS will be
prefixed with either
OK
or
FAIL
. If not enabled, values will be prefixed by
INFO
.
