4.5.4.B Terminal Server (continued)
Connection Control: Some serial devices accept connections or disconnect connections based on certain signal conditions. For example, a serial device may accept a connection only if the incoming DTR signal (connected to device’s DSR or DCD) is high or low. In this case, when the iServer receives the TCP connection, before it forwards it to its serial port, it must raise its DTR (DTR+) or to lower its DTR
"Reconnect" is one of the options in the Connection Control menu. This option can be used in the Serial Tunneling described in Section 4.11. If the connection in Serial Tunneling is broken due to network problems, power failure, etc., the Reconnect option will try to get the connection back on line every whatever the "Connection Timeout" is set to. For Example, if the Connection Timeout is set to 1000 x10 ms or 10 seconds, then every 10 seconds the iServer attempts to reconnect and reestablish the serial tunnel to the other network node.
Device No.: Refer to Section 4.5.1
4.5.4C Remote Access: This option needs to be enabled when Serial Tunneling is configured. The Serial Tunneling is explained in detail in Section 4.11.
Changes made in the iServer’s Configuration page can be saved permanently by pressing the Save button. Pressing the Reset button will set all the fields back to their default values.
