Note: To connect an ASCII terminal to a host using the unit for login purposes, use the remote port number 23 (Internet standard port number for Telnet services).

DisConnMode

This setting determines the conditions under which the unit will cause a network connection to terminate.

Note: In DisConnMode (Disconnect Mode), DTR drop either drops the connection or is ignored.

(1)The XPort sends the "Terminal Type" upon an outgoing connection.

(2)A password is required for a connection to the serial port from the network.

(3)The TCP connection closes even if the remote site does not acknowledge the disconnection.

(4)When there is a network connection to or from the serial port, the state LED turns off instead of blinking.

(5)When Ctrl+D or Hex 04 is detected, the connection is dropped. Both Telnet mode and Disconnect with EOT must be enabled for Disconnect with EOT to function properly. Ctrl+D is only detected going from the serial port to the network.

(6)When DTR transitions from a high state to a low state, the network connection to or from the serial port drops.

Flush Mode (Buffer Flushing)

Using this parameter, you can control line handling and network buffers with connection startup and disconnect. You can also select between two different packing algorithms.
