T.M.A.S communication with STC-U200/W200

Overview:

The STC-U200 or W200 device can only accept incoming connections on port 502 from compatible SMS software for traffic reporting.  T.M.A.S. requires the ability to connect to the STC each hour (or 30min) in-order to retrieve the traffic from the previous hour to populate the reporting.

Steps to allowing TMAS to communicate with the STC:

1. Program an IP, Subnet and Gateway of the store network it is located at into the Unit.  Preferable a non-used Static IP that will not conflict with other equipment in the location. Refer to the STC-U200/W200 user manual for steps on this. Click for Process
2. Connect - STC needs to be wired to the network by a patch cable.  Any available network port on a hub, switch, router will do, unless otherwise directed to use a specific port advised by your network administrator.
3. Open - Port 502 TCP incoming from TMAS Server [www.smssoftware.net] on the network router/firewall.  The TMAS application CANNOT configure your router automatically.  For Steps - Please refer to your Router / Firewall user guide, IT Network administrator, or Internet Service Provider contact to set this up. Please Note that SMS Storetraffic.com does not provide support to setup this configuration.
