RemoteHost Property

The address of the RemoteHost. Domain names are resolved to IP addresses.

Syntax

 icmpport.getRemoteHost([callback])
 icmpport.setRemoteHost( remoteHost, [callback])

Default Value

""


Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getRemoteHost([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setRemoteHost([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property specifies the IP address (IP number in dotted internet format) or Domain Name of the remote host.

If this property is set to 255.255.255.255, the class broadcasts data on the local subnet.

If this property is set to a Domain Name, a DNS request is initiated and upon successful termination of the request, the property is set to the corresponding address. If the search is not successful, the class fails with an error.

If UseConnection is True, this property must be set before the class is activated (Active is set to True).
