Autoconnecting to a Network Host (UDP)

Introduction

This section describes how to configure the device server to

initiate an “autoconnection” to one or more hosts on the

network. In this type of configuration, the device server

initiates UDP communications to applications running on

servers or serial devices connected to server serial ports

(sometimes called UDP socket service).

This configuration provides multicasting capability. That is,

multiple devices can be identified as destinations for a single

communication.

Autoconnecting to Network Hosts: Procedure

1. Access the configuration by opening a web browser and

entering the device server’s IP address in the URL win-

dow.

2. Sign on to the device server as the root user (root). The

default root password is dbps.

3. From the main menu, choose Configure > Port.

4. On the Port Configuration page, do the following:

• Set the Device type to Printer.

• Adjust serial settings as required by the peripheral

connected to the port. See the online help for informa-

tion on configuration fields.

Note: The Terminal type field is used only when the

Device type is Terminal. In all other cases, this field

is ignored.

5. When the port settings are correct, choose Submit to com-

mit the configuration.

6. Choose Advanced, which brings up the Advanced Config-

uration page, and then UDP serial, which brings up the

UDP Serial Configuration page.

7. Use the UDP Serial Configuration page to set up UDP
