In active mode you can specify the baud rate so that Netiom-UDP can communicate with
external equipment. Netiom-UDP can support baud rates in the range 2400 to 38400 baud.
Netiom-UDP will store incoming serial data in a 64 byte working buffer until it deems that the
data string is complete. Once complete or the buffer is full the data is transmitted to the
remote Netiom-UDP.
You can specify either a carriage return/line feed pair (CR/LF) indicates that the data is
complete or use a timed methology i.e. no data for a fixed period. If the latter is chosen then
the timeout value can be specified in the range 20mS to 20 seconds.
Note that it is important that both ends of the link have the same baud rate as there is limited
buffering within the Netiom-UDPs and congestion could cause data loss.
Watchdog
The watchdog facility can be used to monitor link activity. If this facility is enabled then output
1 will be activated when the link is established. Note that this will then remove the functionality
of Input 1.
MAC Address
This field shows the MAC address of the Netiom-UDP. It is not possible to change this
number and is provided for information only.
Pings
Netiom-UDP will respond to network pings. To ping Netiom-UDP from a PC use the command
line ping followed by its IP address. For example:
ping 192.168.0.6
