FarSync for Windows

FarSync Port Manager

Getting Started

The FarSync Port Manager (fsportmgr) is a Windows utility produced by FarSite Communications Ltd to configure and monitor the ports of any installed FarSync devices.

Firstly ensure that your FarSync device(s) are installed and attached.

Each port of all the installed FarSync devices is displayed in Ports pane.

 

Adding an X.25 Interface

To configure a particular port for X.25 use, select the port in the ports pane and then click on the "Select Protocol" button. and select "X.25"

The X.25 Line Properties configuration dialog will appear - give the interface a relevant name

 

Configure the X.25 Line as required by the network to which it will be connected. Then press OK to save it.

 

The X.25 Interface can then be enabled (i.e. the X.25 line can be started) by clicking the "Enable" button 

Deleting an X.25 Interface

Select the required X.25 Line in the Interfaces pane, right click and choose "Delete"

Moving/Cloning an X.25 Interface

You can move an X.25 Line definition to another port (for instance, when the hardware for the existing port has been uninstalled) by choosing the Move option and then right-clicking the required new port and selecting "Paste". Lines can also be cloned in the same way but using Copy instead of Move.

 

Modifying the IP-X.25 Routing Configuration

To add/remove IP-X.25 routes or modify existing entries, use the IP-X.25 toolbar button or right-click the "FarSync Adapters" node in the Ports pane and select "IP-X.25 Routing Configuration".

 

The IP-X.25 Routing Table is then displayed.

Routing is performed on outgoing packets using the Destination IP Address.

There is a default entry ("*") used for routing packets when no explicit route exists.
