To add a communication interface, proceed as follows:
1.
In the Communications interfaces view, click New. The naming
for logical interfaces is fixed so that each new interface will get a
name in the format netifX, where X is an automatically increasing
interface index.
2.
Select the physical communication device used by the interface.
3.
Set the idle time for the device as needed by entering the value in
the Idle time field. Idle time defines the time, in milliseconds, for
which the interface is kept open when it is not being used. For
example, if opening the interface is a time consuming or costly
operation, it is advisable to keep it open for some time, so that all
transmitted information can pass during one session.
4.
Select if you want the QML logger to accept incoming connections
from this interface. For interfaces using the devices Siemens
GPRS-IP and PSTN-IP, you can select whether the incoming
connection uses a TCP/IP-based connection or not: for TCP/IP,
select the option Yes from the list; for connections without TCP/IP
(such as data calls), select the option Yes, without PPP. If you
select the latter option, you can use data calls, for example, for the
service connection to a GPRS interface, even though the data
transmission on the interface uses TCP/IP.
Station-specific settings for communication interfaces are stored in
parameter sets with the same names as the communication interfaces.
Setup defaults are set from the top right configuration frame named
Settings for netifX / ethX.
To edit the parameter defaults, first select the interface from the
Communication interfaces list. This brings up parameters for the
selected interface. To delete a communication interface, select the
interface to be deleted and then click Delete.
lists all station-specific parameters for the
communication interfaces. The required settings depend on both the
selected communication device and the network configuration. Lizard
Setup Software contains an appropriate default set corresponding to the
selected interface.
NOTE
In order to accept an incoming connection through a dial-up device,
such as a modem, you need to enable incoming call answering also for
the modem. See section
