Protocol Tab - Encom Harmony IP I/O8 User Manual

PROTOCOL TAB

The Protocol tab allows you to set up the communication method / protocol between your IP
I/O8 and STRATOS I/O.
The Protocol tab contains the following settings:
• Gateway Protocol Mode – This setting controls the method of communication:
o Polling – this option causes STRATOS I/O to query or 'poll' the status of this device at
fixed time intervals. This can be configured in STRATOS.
o Report by exception – Select this option if your IP I/O8 is set up in a cell modem-based
network. With this option selected, IP I/O8 will initiate communication with STRATOS I/O
when any of the enabled events occurs.
The following options are required if your Gateway Protocol Mode is set to Report by Exception.
• Report Settings
o Server IP Address: The IP address of the STRATOS I/O you want the IP I/O8 to connect to
o Server IP Port: The IP port of the STRATOS I/O you want the IP I/O8 to connect to
o Heartbeat Interval: The time interval that you would like your IP I/O8 to send update
packets to STRATOS I/O regardless of its current event status
• Communication Settings
o Packet Size: Controls the size of the status message. It is strongly advised that this
setting be kept at 1400.
