Host List Configuration
If this option is set to True, the device server scrolls through the host list until it
connects to the first available device listed in the host list table. Once it connects, the
unit stops further attempts. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll through
the table until it is able to connect to the next available IP address in the host list.
The host list supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry
contains an IP address and a port number. This field is available for configuration
only when Active Connection is not set to None.
Note: The host list is disabled for Manual and Modem Mode. The unit will not
accept a data connection from a remote device when the hostlist option is
enabled.
