on
Save Settings
to activate the configuration server. Then the configuration server settings
page appears as shown in Figure 48. If the configuration server is enabled the green
configuration server LED labeled
CS
will be on, otherwise it will be off.
The configuration server port can be changed in the
Config server port
field. It is
recommended to keep the default port setting of 1629. The field
Channel name
is
informational only and can consist of up to 15 characters.
The field
Channel members
displays the current number of members on the IP-852
channel. The field
Channel mode
reflects the current channel mode. The L-INX
configuration server automatically determines this mode. Depending on if there are any two
devices in the channel which use the same IP address but different ports (e.g., multiple
CEA-852 devices behind one NAT router). If all IP addresses are unique, the mode is
Standard
, if some are not unique the mode is
Extended NAT mode
. Please refer to
Section 7.3.2 to learn more about the implications of this mode.
Figure 48: Configuration server settings.
Enter NTP timer server address and ports in the fields
Primary SNTP
and
Secondary
SNTP
. The L-INX will synchronize to NTP time if primary or primary and secondary NTP
servers are specified. A list of available timeservers can be found at
The
Channel timeout
is an IP-852 channel property and indicates how old a packet can be
before it is discarded. The channel timeout is set in ms. To disable the channel timeout enter
a value of 0. To select the proper value please consult Section 7.5.2. Setting a channel
timeout other than 0 requires a valid SNTP server entry on the configuration server.
The
Auto members
option allows members to be automatically added to the channel. If
turned on, CEA-852 devices can register on the IP-852 channel without the device being
explicitly added on the configuration server. This special feature is useful in combination
with the LPA-IP since it can add itself to the configuration server during the debug session.
Non-responding auto members are automatically removed from the channel. This feature is
turned off by default and must be explicitly turned on. Use this option with care because
new CEA-852 devices can add themselves to the channel without knowledge of the system
operator. This could cause a potential security hole.
