APS-8M / APS-16M Asynchronous Port Switches; User’s Guide

10.Timeout Disconnect: Enables and selects the Timeout Period for this port. If enabled, and the port does not receive or transmit data for the speciﬁed Timeout Period, the port will disconnect. In Any-to-Any Mode, Passive Mode, or Buffer Mode, the default setting for this item is "OFF". When the port is set for Modem Mode, the default setting for this item is 15 minutes.

Notes:

•The Timeout Disconnect is also applied to non-connected ports that are left in command mode. If no additional data activity is detected, an unconnected port will exit from command mode when the Timeout Disconnect value expires.

•When connected ports time out and are disconnected, both ports will also exit from command mode.

11.Response Type: Selects the type of messages that this port will send in response to commands. The user can select Verbose (English Text), Terse (Numeric / Abbreviation), or Quiet Mode (No Response).

(Default = Verbose).

12.Command Echo: Enables or Disables the command echo for this port. (Default = On).

13.Accept Break: Determines whether the port will accept breaks received from the attached device, and pass them along to a connected port. When enabled, breaks received at this port will be passed to any port that this port is connected to, and sent along to the device connected to the other port. When disabled, breaks will be refused at this port, and hence, not sent to the other port. (Default = Yes)

14.Invalid Access Lockout: Enables/Disables the Invalid Access Lockout feature as described in Section 5.5.4. Brieﬂy, the Invalid Access Lockout feature can be used to automatically disable a port when a user-deﬁned number of invalid access attempts are detected. (Default = Off.)
