Networking Information

The following network setup parameters for remote control are available from the Networking Information tab:

Ø Allow Remote Connections. Disable this box if you do not allow connections to the decoder cards from another computer.

Ø Data Compression. Enable or disable data compression for the data transfer to the remote computer. Data compression is required if you use a slow remote connection. If your modem is already compressing the data, disable this option.

Ø Data Encryption. Enable optional data encryption if a secure connection is required. If the connection is already safe (crypto devices, VPN etc), disable this option.

Ø TCP Port. Enter a free TCP port. If the port is already used by another application, change the port number. If you use routers, firewalls etc. check that traffic from the selected port is transferred to the client's location. The default value for GUI connection to the WAVECOM server W-CODE is 33243. Wavecom GUI client (local or remote) can only connect to the server if it is working on the same port.

In addition to the port number of the GUI, port numbers for the XML Remote Interface and the Server Control Interface may be entered here.

The following table lists the TCP/IP ports of W-CODE, W-PCI, W-PCIe and W74PC.
