Protocol Tab - Encom Harmony Series User Manual

PROTOCOL TAB

The Protocol tab allows you to set up the communication method / protocol between your Gateway
Basic 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 Gateway Basic is set up in a cell modem-based
network. With this option selected, Gateway Basic will initiate communication with STRATOS
I/O when any one of the enabled events occurs.
These sections are required if your Protocol Mode is set to Report by Exception.
• Report Settings
o Server IP Address: The IP address of the STRATOS I/O network you want your device to connect to
o Server IP Port: The IP port of the STRATOS I/O network you want your device to connect to
o Heartbeat Interval: The time interval (in seconds) your Gateway Basic sends update packets to
STRATOS I/O regardless of its current event status
• Communication Settings
