Cost-effective Support # Modules are available on our website for the assistance # you may require. We can do it for you! # # # ------------------- # # # Each entry is explained below, and an example using the default setting # is shown. This file may be edited directly on-screen from the AlphaSense # For Networks browser page, or by cutting and pasting the entire contents # of this file to a text editor, making the desired changes, and then pasting # it back in to the browser page to overwrite the old contents. # # Comment Lines # Any line in this file that starts with the "#" character is a comment line. # If you wish to add comments or your own notes, you may do so by starting # each such line with a "#" character - all such lines are ignored. Lines # where values are entered must NOT be comment lines. Blank lines are also # ignored. # # Name=Value Lines # These lines convey the actual name and value of the given parameter. There # are no space characters, and an "equals" symbol (=) separates the two # elements. The parameter "name" is on the left side of the "equals" symbol # and the "value" is on the right side. Entering of invalid values and/or # names will cause AFN to cease running, and send error messages to the log. # # # Check Your Entries! # If you are not sure of the effect of your changes, it is best to leave # values at their default settings. Incorrect settings or absence of required # values may cause unpredictable results and/or failure of AFN to operate. # # #modem initialization string for data connections (minit) # #this value sets the initialization string sent to the modem used for #dialout delivery of data messages, and for thru-mode, when supported. #Entries must begin with the letters "AT" (without quotes) #Length: up to 60 characters #Example: minit=AT&FE0V1L2S7=15S0=1 # minit=AT&FE0V1L2S7=15S0=1 #modem initialization string for wireless connections (winit) # #this value sets the initialization string sent to the modem used for #dialout delivery of wireless messages. #Entries must begin with the letters "AT" (without quotes) #Length: up to 60 characters #Example: winit=AT&FE0V1L2S0=1 # winit=AT&FE0V1L2S7=15S0=1 #modem dialout baud rate for data messages (dbaud) # #this value sets baud rate speed for dialout data message delivery. #Data dialouts are made by AFN at the standard 8 bits, no parity. #valid values are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 #Example: dbaud=9600 # dbaud=9600 #wireless dialout baud rate (wbaud) # #this value sets baud rate speed for dialout wireless message delivery. #Wireless dialouts by AFN are automatically configured to match the #required parity/bits protocols of the wireless provider's system. #valid values are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200 #Example: wbaud=9600 # wbaud=9600 #baud rate for rs232 port (pbaud) # #this value sets baud rate speed for the serial port which connects to #the host equipment providing message data to AFN.

For reference, a complete list of decimal values for all ASCII characters #is available on the AFN "Resources" Menu, and also at the Compuquest, Inc. #website - Product Support section, within the AlphaSense FAQ, #Some common values are 13 (CR), 10 (LF). If the "asterisk" character would #be chosen, the value for that is 42... #valid values are the set of decimal values for printable ASCII characters. #Length: from 1 to 3 characters #Example: eob=13 # eob=13 #destination address for external logging (logip) # #this value designates an IP address of a machine that will receive logging #data from AFN. Optionally, AFN will store the logfiles internally, and the #user may access them using the AFN browser interface. For external logging, #AFN can provide its logging information using the syslog facility, to a #remote machine designated by the entry for this value. An entry of the #number 0 activates internal AFN logging, and disables remote logging. #valid values are 0 or a valid IP address. #Length: from 1 to 24 characters #Example: logip=0 #Example: logip=10.10.118.40 # logip=0 #IP address of DNS name-resolution server (dnsip) # #this value designates an IP address which will perform domain name #resolution services for AFN.

A value of 0 means vport1 #is not installed. A value of H means vport1 is hard-wired to AFN Port LAN2 #using crossover ethernet cable. A value of a valid IP address means vport1 #is installed, either on the local LAN, or other network address near or far. #The IP address must match the address programmed into vport1 itself. #Valid values are 0, H, or a valid IP address. #Length: from 1 to 24 characters #Example: vp1ip=0 #Example: vp1ip=H #Example: vp1ip=192.168.16.5 # vp1ip=0 #Port number of virtual serial port #1 (vp1po) # #this value designates the port number for vport1. A value of 0 means vport1 #is not installed (and if parameter vp1ip is 0, any port entry is #ignored). A value of H means vport1 is hard-wired to AFN Port LAN2 #using crossover ethernet cable. For actual port values, choose a port #number that does not conflict with other network services or programs.

This #message serves as a heartbeat alert that AFN has _NOT_ received incoming #data that meets the activeflag=6 rule within the given hbtime duration. #If hbtime is not disabled, at the end of each hbtime interval, AFN #checks to see if the desired data has been received at least once, and #if not, the activeflag=6 rule is processed for messaging. This process #is repeated at the end of every such interval. The hbtime interval is #read and established each time AFN is powered or re-booted. #The format is hh:mm or #a value of 0 may be used to disable heartbeat detection and messaging. #Example: hbtime=00:60 #Example: hbtime=02:00 #Example: hbtime=0 # hbtime=0 #automatic logfile delivery email "To" address (emlogs) # #this value is either 0 to disable, or a valid email address. If a valid #email address is present, AFN will send a zipped archive file that #contains logfiles for that day.
