enter it in this format aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd. For numbers that are less than 100, preceding zeros should
not be included (for example, enter 80 rather than 080). This field can be up to 40 characters long
and has no default setting.
Server Port
Enter the TCP port used for the Remote Services server. This can be set within the range of 0-
65535. The default setting for this field is 8000.
Connection String
This text is sent to the Remote Services server when the connection is established. This string
should include any information required by the server at connection. For example, it may include an
ID number, customer number, password, etc. The format is entirely dependent upon the server
requirements. This field can be up to 80 characters long. Default text is provided only as an example
placeholder. The default text is [<serialNumber>]:ControlByWeb, X-317.
Connection Interval
This field specifies the periodic interval in which the X-317 attempts to connect to the remote server,
or if the X-317 is already connected, it is the interval in which the X-317 sends the connection string.
This field can be set within the range of 1 to 34452 minutes. The default setting for this field is 1
minute.
IP Filter Range 1 and IP Filter Range 2
For additional security, the X-317 has a simple built-in firewall. If desired, the X-317 can be
configured to only allow access to client devices (computers, servers, other X-317 devices, etc) with
certain IP addresses. Two IP address ranges are provided and only client devices with addresses
that fall within those two ranges will be allowed access. Devices with IP addresses that fall outside of
those ranges will not receive any response from the X-317. The following are examples.
To allow access from any device (this is the default setting):
IP Filter Range 1:
IP Filter Range 2:
To limit access to only one device (address 192.168.1.33):
IP Filter Range 1:
IP Filter Range 2:
To limit access to only devices on the local network and one device on the internet (address
10.143.100.32):
IP Filter Range 1:
IP Filter Range 2:
Note: The address specified for the Remote Services server (if applicable) is automatically allowed
through the firewall no matter how this is set.
