3.6 Host List Configuration
The XPort scrolls through the host list until it connects to a device listed in the host list table. After a
successful connection, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If this connection fails, the unit
continues to scroll through the table until the next successful connection.
The host list supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains an IP address and
a port number.
Note: The host list is disabled for Manual and Modem Mode. The unit does not accept a data connection from a remote
device when the hostlist option is enabled.
To configure the XPort’s host list:
1. On the main menu, click Hostlist.
2. Enter or modify the following fields:
