STG IP Address
The STG IP Address field displays the currently assigned IP address of the STG and is used to assign a
static IP address to the STG
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask field displays the currently assigned subnet mask assigned to the STG. The default
value is 255.255.255.0. If the Responder system is on a different network segment than the STG or if
the Ethernet paging system is on a different network segment, e.g. STG is on 192.168.10.214 and
Responder is on 192.168.18.214, then the Subnet Mask value would need to be adjusted to 255.255.0.0.
Gateway IP
The Gateway IP field displays the IP address of a LAN gateway that the STG can use to connect to devices
outside of the current STG network segment. This setting only becomes important if connecting the STG
to an Ethernet TAP output IP address that is outside of the current STG network segment.
Time Server
The Time Server field displays the IP address of a custom time server, if the installation requires one.
The default value is blank, as the STG, by default, tries to use the internet to connect to nist.time.gov. If
the Time Server field is not blank, the STG will try to connect to the custom time server value.
Ethernet Paging System IP Address
The Ethernet Paging System IP Address field displays the currently assigned IP address for any Ethernet
paging system that you want the STG to communicate to. If you do not want the STG to try to
communicate to an Ethernet paging system, leave the Ethernet Paging System IP address field blank.
Ethernet Paging System IP Port
The Ethernet Paging System IP Port field displays the Ethernet IP Port value that the STG should use
when communicating with the Ethernet paging system.
Baud Rate
The Baud Rate field displays the serial port baud rate value that the STG should use when
communicating with all connected Serial Port Paging Systems.
Data Bits
The Data Bits field displays the data bits value that the STG should use when communicating with all
connected Serial Port Paging Systems.
Parity
The Parity field displays the serial port parity value that the STG should use when communicating with
all connected Serial Port Paging Systems.
Flow Control
The Flow Control setting displays the flow control method that the STG should use when communicating
with all connected Serial Port Paging Systems. Typically flow control is only used when a paging system
input queue is full and the paging system needs to signal a pause in message flow and then to signal a
return to normal message flow. If TAP 512 response code of 512 is used for flow control, the STG waits
5 seconds before retrying the same message (see TAP output processing flow chart below)
