Adding/Editing Additional TruePort Hosts
You can define a list of hosts that the serial device will communicate to through TruePort Lite or a
primary/backup host.
Configure the following parameters:
Allow Multiple
Hosts to Connect
When this option is enabled, multiple hosts can connect to a serial device that
is connected to this serial port. Note: These multiple clients (Hosts) need to be
running TruePort in Lite mode.
Default: Disabled
Define additional
hosts to connect to
When this option is enabled, you can define up to 49 hosts that the serial device
connected to this serial port will attempt communicate to. With this mode of
operation, the IOLAN will connect to multiple hosts simultaneously.
Default: Enabled
Add Button Click the Add button to add a host to the list of hosts that will be receiving
communication from the serial device connected to the IOLAN.
See Adding/Editing a Multihost Entry for more information.
Edit Button Highlight an existing host and click the Edit button to edit a host in the list of
hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to
the IOLAN.
Delete Button Highlight an existing host and click the Edit button to edit a host in the list of
hosts that will be receiving communication from the serial device connected to
the IOLAN.
Define a primary
host and backup...
When this option is enabled, you need to define a primary host that the serial
device connected to this serial port will communicate to and a backup host, in
the event that the IOLAN loses communication to the primary host. The
IOLAN will first establish a connection to the primary host. Should the
connection to the primary host be lost (or never established), the IOLAN will
establish a connection the backup host. Once connected to the backup, the
IOLAN will attempt to re-establish a connection to the Primary host, once this
is successfully done, it gracefully shuts down the backup connection.
Default: Disabled
