UDP Datagram
The Ethernet > Hostlist tab allows you to set up and use a host list. When the host list is enabled, the Click 301
scrolls through the host list until it makes a successful connection to one of the addresses. After a successful
connection, the unit stops trying to connect to any others. If this connection fails, the unit continues to scroll
through the table until the next successful connection.
The host list supports a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 entries. Each entry contains an IP address and a
port number. The host list is flowed onto three third-level tabs. If you need to enter more than the three host
IP addresses on the first screen, go to the IP 4-9 and IP 10-12 third-level tabs. The three third-level tabs below
Ethernet > Hostlist allow you to configure the hostlist (see the figure and table below).
Setting
Description
Hostlist Enable
Enables the use of the host list.
Retry Counter
Lets you set the number of times the module should attempt to retry connecting to the host list.
Retry Timeout
Allows you to enter the duration (in seconds) the module should try to make a connection to the host
list before abandoning the attempt.
Host IP Address
Lets you enter the host's IP address.
TCP Port
Allows you to set the target port number.
Under the Diagnostics tab, you can run diagnostics on your device (see the figure below). Click the General or
Ethernet buttons to run diagnostics on the items listed below each button. If a problem is detected, the program
will display a red square next to the item in question. If no problems are detected, a green circle will appear.

Lets you enter up to two characters in hexadecimal. If the module receives a character on the
serial line that matches one of these characters, it sends the character immediately, along with any
awaiting characters, to the TCP connection. This action minimizes the response time for specific
protocol characters on the serial line (for example, ETX, EOT).
Enables the use of UPD datagrams. This option cannot be changed here; it is enabled when you
open one of the two point to multipoint drivers and save that driver to the device.
