Response Time
Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, that will be allowed for the route.
B.5.11 Central Routers
This setting specifies a list of up to eight PakBus addresses for routers that are able to work as
central routers. By specifying a non-empty list for this setting, the device will be configured as a
branch router meaning that it will not be required to keep track of neighbors of any routers
except those in its own branch. Configured in this fashion, the device will ignore any neighbor
lists received from addresses in the central routers setting and will forward any messages that it
receives to the nearest default router, if it does not have the destination address for those
messages in its routing table.
B.6 TLS Proxy Server tab
B.6.1 TLS Proxy Server
Enable/disable the TLS Proxy Server. When doing TLS proxy communications, the device TLS
server maintains a secure TLS connection with a remote TLS client and forwards information onto
a data logger using a standard TCP connection. TCP ports and physical connections are
configured below.
NOTE:
If the TLS Proxy Server is enabled and a data logger is connected to the CS I/O port, the data
logger will load its TCP stack in case it is required to do TCP communications. Running the
TCP stack causes the data logger to use more memory, leaving less for final storage, etc. So, if
TCP/TLS server capability is not required, the TLS Proxy Server should be left disabled.
B.6.2 TLS Proxy Service Port
When doing TLS Proxy communications, the NL241 TLS server maintains a secure connection
with a remote client. If the TLS Proxy Forward Physical Port is set to CS I/O Port, the NL241 will
open a TCP connection with the data logger over the CS I/O port and do unencrypted data
transfer with the data logger. If the TLS Proxy Forward Physical Port is set to Wi-Fi, the NL241 will
open the TCP connection over Wi-Fi on the TLS Proxy Forward IP Address.
In order to communicate with the NL241 TLS server, the client application must open a socket to
that server. The socket of the NL241 TLS server is uniquely identified by the IP address and a port
number. This entry is where the port number of the NL241 TLS server is set.
