Western Telematic RPC-4840N Network Card User Manual


 
6.7. Operating Tips
When connecting to the RPC via network, modem or console
port, the following factors should be kept in mind:
1. One Connection at a Time: Only one port can access the
command mode at a time. Therefore, it is recommended
that users should always disconnect using the /X command
when finished communicating with the unit. When a
command port is busy, the RPC will react as follows:
a) Network Port Busy: If a second user attempts to
connect via the Modem Port, the RPC will send a busy
message. If a second user attempts to connect via the
Console Port, the port will not wake.
b) Modem Port Busy: If a second user attempts to
connect via the Network Port, the connection will be
refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the
Console Port, the port will not wake.
c) Console Port Busy: If a second user attempts to
connect via the Network Port, the connection will be
refused. If a second user attempts to connect via the
Modem Port, the Console Port will disconnect and the
Modem Port will be granted access; the Modem Port
has priority over the Console Port.
2. Ping Packet Size: The RPC will not accept Ping Packets
larger than approximately 1000 bytes.
