IP Gateway 

0.0.0.0 (Default) 

 

Wireless LAN SSID

begin with the character “!” 

Network name (SSID)  
 

IP Registration Host Server 

Name 

nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:ppp 
Where:  
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn =  

a server name or IP address 

 
ppp = 0..65535 
 
If Registration Host Server 

Name  is empty,  no IP 

registration server name is 

defined. 

 

192.168.3.1 (Default) 

The Registration Host Server Name is used 

to locate and establish a connection after 

FC-8 establishes an Internet session 

connection as a result of an explicit 

command or as a result of automated 

Internet session establishment procedures. 

The dynamically assigned IP address is sent 

to the server in ASCII form, after which the 

socket is closed. See Socket IP Registration. 

It is assumed that the host server is 

"listening" on port number. 

FC-8

 registers itself by opening a socket to a 

registration server and sending its ID 

information and current IP address. When 

the Registration Host Server Name 

parameter contains a value, the 

FC-8

 

establishes a socket to the server defined in 

Registration Host Server Name during the 

registration procedure. When a socket is 

established,

 FC-8

 transmits its ID information 

and current IP address in the following 

format: 

FC-8-<D/L/S> S/N:<RP5> version: <RP1> 

HN:<HSTN> IP:<IPA or RRRL> Port:<LPRT 

or 80 or 0>” 

The registration socket is then closed. 

SerialNet Listening Port 

0 to 64000 
10000 (Default) 

 

Socket Type 

0 – TCP (Default) 

1 – UDP
