7.3. Server Configuration
Under
Server Configuration
various parameters required for EAD to connect to Server
are provided and the available options are described below.
7.3.1. IP Filtering
This innovative and useful option is available under Server Configuration. The main
purpose of the same is ensure that only the relevant or select computers in the Network
connects or communicates to the EAD and prevents all other computers in the Network
interfering or intruding in its operation.
There are entries for 5 IP numbers under this menu. When all of them are set to
0.0.0.0,
the IP Filtering option is
Disabled
(
Default).
Entry of the IP number or numbers in this option enables this Feature and ensures that
only the computers or devices with these IP number can Ping, Telnet to ports 7353 or
7727 and use browse interface. For all others, these operations will not be permitted.
Note:
1.
Please note that once this is set, the EAD Will be accessible (even for ping) only from
the PC having that IP address
2.
There is one exception to this in case of forgotten IP numbers in the list. The IP
number 192.168.0.1 is the only IP permitted always even if it is not set in the IP Filter
table.
Do make a note of the following points:
1.
If the unit is set with
Gateway IP address
, you should add the same in
IP Filter list.
2.
If you are setting the EAD to
Auto connect to Server on Power-up or based on
input characters
, then the
Server IP should be added
to this list.

Auto start
, 1 for
Manual mode

Power Up to a Server in Network running any application listening for incoming
connections. The connection parameters like the Remote IP address and the TCP port
number parameters have to be configured and saved for this. If Automatic connection
method is selected (here you can program the time to get connected after switching on the
unit also), all parameters must be provided. (i.e. Remote IP, Remote port number, Start
mode = 0). It will connect to the programmed IP address and the port number according
to the time programmed. Waiting time rage from 1-999 seconds.
The Default time is 60
Seconds.
It is not possible to set waiting time through web browser.
Manual Mode: -
