4.0 Configuration
IP Protocol Config (Continued…)
SMTP Client:
If the IPnXGii has Internet access, this protocol may be used to send the data received on
the serial port (COM1), in a selectable format (see Transfer Mode (below)), to an e-mail addressee. Both
the SMTP Server and the e-
mail addressee must be ‘reachable’ for his feature to function.
Mail Subject
Enter a suitable ‘e-mail subject’ (e-mail heading).
Default:
COM1 Message
Mail Server (IP/Name)
IP address or ‘Name’ of SMTP (Mail) Server.
Default:
0.0.0.0
Mail Recipient
A valid e-mail address for the intended addressee, entered in the proper format.
Default:
host@
Message Max Size
Maximum size for the e-mail message.
Default:
1024
Timeout (s)
How long the unit will wait to gather data from the serial port before sending an e-mail
message; data will be sent immediately upon reaching Message Max Size.
Default:
10
Transfer Mode
Select how the data received on COM1 is to be sent to the email addressee. Options
are: Text, Attached File, Hex Code.
Default:
Text
PPP:
COM1 can be configured as a PPP server for a serial connection with a PC or other device. The
attached PC could then use a dedicated serial (WindowsXP - dialup/modem) type PPP connection to
access the network resources of the IPnXGii. Note: Console (if configured as data port) does not support
this mode.
PPP Mode
Can be set for Active or Passive. If set for Active, the PPP server will initiate the PPP
connection with a PPP client. The server will periodically send out link requests following PPP
protocol. If set to Passive, the PPP server will not initiate the PPP connection with PPP client.
The server will wait passively for the client to initiate connection.
Default:
Passive
Expected String
When a client (PC or device) initiates a PPP session with the modem, this is the handshaking
string that is expected in order to allow a connection. Generally this doe not need to be
changed.
Default:
CLIENT
Response String
This is the handshaking string that will be sent by the modem once the expected string is
received. Generally this does not need to be changed.
Default:
CLIENTSERVER
SMTP: Simple Mail
Transport Protocol is a
protocol used to transfer
mail across an IP
network.
