Default Router IP Address-- Enter the IP Address of the router that the
base station should use to communicate with networked devices outside
its current subnet.
Default Router Serial Interface-- The Secure Data Mode station has
several network interfaces to which it may be connected. An interface
number is required for the Secure Data Mode station to know which
interface to use to send packets addressed to a given destination. This
field displays the serial interface that the router will use by default.
Preferred IP Address-- From time to time, the Secure Data Mode
Bridge/Router will transmit unsolicited IP packets such as SNMP traps,
Syslog, RIP, or IP/ARP packets. Most routers randomly use one of the IP
addresses from one of the router interfaces as the source IP address for
these packets. However, in the Preferred IP Address field, you can
specify the source IP address that you prefer to use for these packets.
Default TTL-- The Time To Live (TTL) counter avoids endless
forwarding of message frames with incorrect addressing by defining a
maximum number of hops a packet can take. Each time the frame is
forwarded by a router, the TTL counter decreases by one. When the TTL
= 0, the frame is rejected.
Syslog Host Address-- Syslog messages can be used to log information
such as logins, service errors and general configuration information.
Since there is no storage on a base station, a general purpose computer is
needed to log these messages.
The Syslog Host Address is the IP Address of the system that accepts
"syslog" system logging packets from the base station.
Syslog Host Facility-- Syslog messages can be used to log information
such as logins, service errors and general configuration information.
Since there is no storage on a base station, a general purpose computer is
needed to log these messages.
The Syslog Host Facility describes the part of the system generating the
syslog message, and in UNIX-based systems usually uses one of the
following keywords: auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, kern, lpr, mail, mark,
news, syslog, user, uucp, and local0 through local7.
The base station is capable of sending messages using the local0-local7
facilities. Enter the correct syslog facility number (0-7) that corresponds
to the local facility type on your syslog host.
