UDP Control


It is possible to control and monitor iP1520 over Ethernet using UDP protocol.
In this mode, any PC ( Windows, Linux, Mac ) can connect to the iP1520 using
a suitable UDP capable client program. Once the UDP port is opened, the serial
port console and its commands are available to the user over UDP as if the
user was connected to iP1520 over the local serial connection.

By default, UDP feature is disabled due to security reasons. This can be en-
abled through the web interface. The default UDP port is 30333; this can also
be changed through the web interface.

To enable UDP feature, click on iP1520 Management link on the web interface
and then click on Configuration tab. Mark the button called Enable in the UDP
section. Change the default UDP port, if needed.

Unlike TCP, UDP is a connectionless protocol. Also, unlike TCP, UDP does not
guarantee delivery of messages. For simple console applications, this is not
critical and the message can be retyped if there is a problem with transmission.

See page 13 and 14 of this manual for a full list of the console commands avail-
able.
